Hey Eric,

(In reply to comment #2)
> 1. is not valid, according to SVG 1.1:
> 
> <number> (real number value): The specification of real number values is
> different for property values than for XML attribute values.
> CSS2 [CSS2] states that a property value which is a <number> is specified in
> decimal notation (i.e., a <decimal-number>), which consists of either an
> <integer>, or an optional sign character followed by zero or more digits
> followed by a dot (.) followed by one or more digits. Thus, for conformance
> with CSS2, any property in SVG which accepts <number> values is specified in
> decimal notation only.

> "one or more digits" is the important phrase here.

Thnx, I overlooked that. I just noticed FireFox and Opera handle it, but not
sure if that is a bug or compatibility with existing svgs. I suppose we can
wait and see whether any popular svgs or maybe svgs exported from programs
(that are popular) expect this to work. I'd say we just should concentrate on
the 1.2.3 problem/patch for now :)
Cheers,

Rob.
