I think we're bumping up a bit here against "should" vs "is" with  
SVG. Especially with SVG 1.1 where there was no <solidColor> element,  
a single-stop gradient was the main way to be able to functionally  
get a reusable color (outside of CSS).

<linearGradient id="spotYellow"><stop stop-color="#ff6"/></ 
linearGradient>
...
<rect fill="url(#spotYellow)" stroke="none" x="100" y="100"  
width="320" height="240" />
