SVG files from other programs not being 'sanitised'; Fill and stroke attributes unset on imported objects and following path operations.

[Alex Farlie]

The attached file is an SVG (of an EPS file output from Illustrator. Asked someone to do this so as to rule out the possibility of some glitches in the EPS-PDF-SVG process.

The file looks normal... However, examining it in more depth leads to rather noisy XML code (seeing a lot of whitespace..

Also seeing a lot of 'adjacent' but seemingly unmerged nodes which overlap.

Attempted to "union" the upper Yellow panel, at which point Inkscape decided to "Unset" the fill annd stroke for it.

Perhaps someone would care to write a 'sanistiser' to force SVG loaded into inkscape into ONE W3C validatable format?

This is with inkscape Inkscape 0.91 r13725

My bad.... Sorry...

Ammending title... This seems to be 2 issues.

1) styling attributes present in the files (fill) at start are not handled correctly on path operations

2) Adjacent node mergeing issues -

Another example is (different file):
