I want to be able to have a XUL stack in which there are two independent SVG
elements, something like
<xul:stack>
  <svg:svg id="svg1">
      .
      .
  </svg:svg>
  <svg:svg id="svg2">
      .
      .
  </svg:svg>
</xul:stack>

in order to have svg2 imposed over svg1. In the current implementation this is
not possible because the background color of svg2 hides svg1.

Note: I'm an SVG newbi so it is very possible that I missed something at this
huge standard.

What is exactly your problem? Could you elaborate a bit? You know about
'background:transparent'?

Attachment: test file with background:transparent

The atachment uses background:transparent to make the background of the SVG
element transparent. The result should be a black line over a green background
but all I get is a black line over a white background. If this attribute is
supposed to work as I understand, then there is a bug in 1.7 RC2.
