My understanding Boris it that SVG is "part of" HTML5.  However you are correct that semantics of the individual elements (including attribute parsing) are left to the SVG specification:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-map-element.html#svg-0

So if I have svg content in a HTML document and wish to have a color specified how many different color parsing rules are in effect?

Obviously with this change, setting a color outside of the SVG content (which may be inherited by the SVG content using currentColor) is governed by HTML quirks.

What about setting via style="", or via svgElement.fill= or svgElement.setAttribute("fill", quirkyColor);

I assume that style is governed by whatever CSS rules quirks are in effect for the document?  Or is setting style= dependent on the element type?  (in which case that seems strange).   And I assume setting fill= or via setAttribute should be identical and governed by SVG's (non-quriky) color parser?
