So SVG is heading more into a multiple blending colour space world.

This means renderers must be prepared to render blending groups offline, 
convert colours and then blend again and so on. This is a different 
situation, than the old style one blending colour space fits a whole 
document approach where a document was always drawn directly into one 
final bitmap.

Are there already implementations out doing this for SVG (sRGB/linear 
RGB)? Is a test SVG file available for this SVG feature?
