There is a reason for this. These are in fact CSS properties they
are not actually XML attributes :) When you use 'fill="black"' you are
actually changing a 'presentation attribute' which is transparently
converted to a zero specificity CSS rule (I'm not a CSS head so if the
wording is off a bit please don't shoot me).
The end result is that these 'basic' things are _very_ hard to do
correctly and efficently in animation (consider changing a fill on a
'g' must then cascade down to it's children). To properly support
them we are in the processes of completely rewriting the current CSS
engine.

Only really ugly ways (like cloning the node changing the
presentation attribute and replacing the original with the new one).
