dominant-baseline CSS property seems not being supported

[Ivan Enderlin]

It appears that Inkscape (latest stable version) does not support the “dominant-baseline” CSS property, with “middle” or “central” value.

Look this file with Inkscape and with Firefox to understand: <http://hg.hoa-project.net/Laboratory/raw-file/0fccda95e9db/MasterThesis/Figures/Design_realdom_sampler.svg> (or the attachement as a PNG file).

Could someone highlight the differences that we're supposed to notice here? I differences, but I'm not sure what the w3 standard means.

It appears that the value 'central' is miscalculated for dominant-baseline. You specify the baseline offset as '0.5 - _descent', however the spec specifies "a computed baseline that is at the center of the EM box" (i.e. just 0.5).
