Thank you Eric, I think? I am just a simple user of SVG, you're explanation goes over my head. I have a piece of path data with id="go_fill" in the <defs> with no styling.
Are you saying that the specs do not allow me to style this data on demand? This to me would make no sense in real world SVG usage. I would think that there would, or should, be a way to accomplish this. Below is a test demo of the data and its usage. As I said it works wonderfully in Firefox, should it not? Either yes or no would be something I can understand.
