I agree that this is desirable.

However,  there's been a large thread on www-style that I've stayed away from that
relates to the angles used for CSS gradients.

CSS3 gradients is specifying 0 degrees to be vertical, i'e. poiting up along the Y axis.
Their rationale is that it's like a compass.

SVG uses the X-axis as 0 degrees, like in maths, architectural drawing and many other
things.

The angle concept in CSS gradients is incompatible with SVG's model so perhaps someone
who is in both domains can point this out to them.

Cheers,
Alex
