Objet : Re: [Inkscape-devel] more gradients

I'd be no less SVG compliant than Illustrator, which does exactly what
I'm suggesting to get round this sort of issue. Its also what we do to
blurs etc when we write them to PDF, so theres precedent in the
codebase already...

Personally SVG is the means to the end, not the end in itself.

As for sending stuff to people not using inkscape, I'd generally
recommend using pdf not svg for those cases anyway.
