Quoting Craig Bradney <cbradney@...242...>:
Does the general user care in the end (and does the expert SVG editor care so much to care that its called something other than root)? More users will be comfortable with the term background. Root could be shown in the XML editor for those that will use it.
It isn't really the background, though. It's the container for all the layers.
Putting objects in (root) when you're using layers can have annoying consequences. It's better to create a separate "background" layer rather than putting stuff at the root level.
