Description (last modified by Kilkenni)

While working on some icons, I've found that certain SVG features do not display properly in JOSM. Specifically, the paint-order directive described in MDN ​https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Reference/Attribute/paint-order is ignored.

Afaik, it is a part of the SVG2 standard, but it's quite established at this point and has been supported by modern browsers for 5+ years. Is this a problem with the SVG engine in JOSM?

If it is, it would be useful to mention this in JOSM wiki (for example, here https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Styles#Icons), pointing out that SVG2 icons are not supported.

Example of an icon using paint-order directive in its SVG. Other icons nearby do not use paint-order.
