Description Dirk Schulze 2012-10-16 21:58:10 UTC 
I started a discussion on www-style[1] for supporting referencing of SVG paint servers by URL directly, without the need of element() which just supports references in the same document anyway.

SVG's 'fill' and 'stroke' properties do that. And it just seems natural to do the same on other properties that take <image> as value.

Open this bug report to track this issue.
