Hi,

Why did SVG define baseline-shift
(http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/text.html#BaselineShiftProperty) rather than
using the existing vertical-align
(http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#propdef-vertical-align) CSS
property?

Should SVG 2.0 deprecate baseline-shift and use vertical-align instead?

Best regards

Robert.
