I implemented css geometry properties for svg2 in resvg with claude. I know it works and I've read the relatively small diff. But I'm afraid to send a PR because it might offend a artisanal handcrafted free-range software enthusiast. I guess any other AI enjoyer who needs this feature, which is standard functionality in svg2, will just burn a few tokens and do it themselves to keep the luddites from smashing the factories.

Honestly, if it’s geometry-only and doesn’t acknowledge the existence of anything other than Cartesian coordinates, it sounds like the type of feature that’s more of a support-ticket bomb than otherwise.

If it does support projecting differing CRSs though, please can you point me at it? I’m a nobody and nothing to do with qgis but I would love to have a play with it!

I'm not sure if I understand the concern; for clarity, I'm just making a general comment about the state of contributing AI to open-source software related to resvg, not related to QGIS itself. svg2 spec says css geometry attributes only support cartesian coordinates.

Ah gotcha, thanks - I know next to nothing about css geometry itself, but was curious to play with it, and think I had an imagine in my mind that was different to what you've created.

For what it's worth, I just skimmed the MDN docs and e.g. DOMPoint is using the right kinda wording to sound like it's not inherently cartesian-only. Could be interesting, that. Thanks for getting it into my head!
