Hi all...  

I've come across two problems with Illustrator's support of SVG and I was wondering if there were good work-arounds. Neither of these problems, by the way, exist with Adobe's SVG Viewer. 

1) Illustrator does not support the "evenodd" fill rule. This causes some polygons to be drawn quite incorrectly. 

Svg spec:  http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/painting.html <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/painting.html> 

Example (which ai draws incorrectly) http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/images/painting/fillrule-nonzero.svg <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/images/painting/fillrule-nonzero.svg> 

2) Line weights expressed in user units are at least an order too large. 

See the above example svg file. I tried using "px" units, but the oversizeing still occurs. 

Any thoughts, suggestions?
