I agree that presentation attributes are very useful. I'd prefer to have a
preference setting that allows to toggle between presentation attributes or
style elements. If one uses scripts, which is a very common use case in
SVG, presentation attributes are much easier to process. This has nothing
to do with SVG tiny, but is useful for the SVG full profile as well.

In fact, the style attribute has no advantage at all. It doesn't support
centralized formats and isn't easy to process. The two other ways, CSS
classes or presentation attributes, have their distinct advantages, but
style hasn't.

So I really think that the possibility to use presentation attributes
instead of the style attribute should also be available for the full
profile, not only for tiny.
