Ok, I will clarify my opinion. I agree that swatchbook is more than just 
colors, that includes gradient, pattern, brushes, etc... And that we currently 
have no easy way to exchange swatchbook, between users, and applications. So 
we definitely need a specification for swatchbook. However, what I do not know 
(and therefor I have no opinion) is wether we need a specification for the 
gradient themselves, or if SVG gradients are enough, or if something is 
missing in SVG gradients.
