Stop this now. Thanks Tab! Please let's keep some respect for each other! Different opinions and valid arguments can be expessed in an objective way. This is meant for both sides!

As I wrote before, I'd really like to hear from browser makers why they are hesitant or even reluctant to implement SVG 2 features, especially as several of them were involved in the specification by providing editors. Regarding real-world uses, see mesh gradients as example. Those were implemented in Inkscape 0.92 and there are also several polyfills[1][2] available, though still no browser vendor seems to be willing to implement them. Another case: Mozilla is holding back the implementation of vector-effect property values[3] (done by a volunteer), because the other browser vendors don't indicate implementation interest.
