Re: [rfc-i] No, constraining to a custom SVG profile is not trivial

[Brian E Carpenter <[e-mail]>]

That's exactly what my Python patch does. If R+G+B > 381 return white else black.

It works pretty well if the contrast in the original is sufficient for legibility.

It can not handle complex SVG with shades of darkness or complex attribute values (like style). If I get energetic, I could do some contrast computation. Never tried anything that complex with XSLT, might have to do some scripting for that.
