Oh that explains why all my rendering experiments looked different from SVG. I think the reference renderer already does gamma correct blending.

This is something we should add to the specification for sure.

Even re-encoding the SVG crap would only remove XML from the equation, but that's not my main concern with SVG.

Zig has the Zen "only one way to do things". Meanwhile SVG has tens of ways to solve the same problem.

One example: You can set the opacity via css, fill-opacity and opacity. What you cannot do: Set the opacity via color. But you can make 50% black by just specifying fill-opacity, as black is the default color. to render lines, you need to set fill to "none". ugh.

Yes!

For a pen plotter, I'd like something like SVG that has color, pen-pressure, and pen-rotation.
