The CSS 'color' property can include a fractional opacity component (in CSS3), as can the values of the CSS2 system colors (in CSS2). Since the 'color' property is referencable from SVG (via currentColor), and since SVG allows the CSS2 system colors on its attributes, and also since when SVG is implemented in a CSS3 UA the <color>-capable properties will also take rgba(), etc, please define how a colour with an alpha component must be handled when used where SVG explicitly gives a related -opacity property. I can see several options: * drop the alpha on the color, use only the -opacity. * drop the -opacity, use only the alpha, unless the alpha is 1.0. * combine the alpha and the -opacity in some defined way. The latter would be my recommendation. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
