Both SVG files here are a red rectangle when loaded in Inkscape or Internet Explorer. But in Blender, the first file appears as black instead of red.
Steps to recreate: Import both files into Blender as SVG paths.


File contents:

rect_red_g.svg:
This line for a red fill appear in both files, and it is apparently ignored by the SVG importer.
<g ...
fill="#ff0000"

rect_red_style.svg:
This line for a red fill appears in the 2nd file and is recognized by the SVG importer.
<path ...
style="fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:1"

Can the importer be fixed to recognize <g fill="#ff0000" ...> ?
