I am sorry to see that the new vector graphics >standard chooses not to recast CSS styles in a more XML-friendly syntax. It's not too late to change CSS. One proposal for doing so and making it more XML-friendly was put forward in http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-XSL-and-CSS, and certainly signaled a willingness to accomodate XML. (No, it didn't include breaking up the style attribute.) It might not be so difficult to find a way around this - using architectual forms or namespaces or some other mechanism, though it could make for some large and ugly DTDs. I was quite happy to see that SVG uses CSS as its style vocabulary, personally.
