The fill patterns lack definitions. The illustrations given are insufficient.
An application needs to know what in these illustrations are required behaviors and what are not.
For example, is the exact dithering pattern used in the illustration required

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment CA-0036 (Modified: 2007-12-05) Agreed; the contents of Part 4, §2.18.85, pages 1,8001,807 will be rewritten as follows (in the interest of brevity, only two pattern fills have been included): This simple type specifies the pattern which shall be used to lay the pattern color over the background color for a shading. This pattern consists of a mask which is applied over the background shading color to get the locations where the pattern color should be shown. Each of these possible masks are is shown in the enumeration values located below. In each example, an 8 pixel by 8 pixel mask is displayed where black has been used as the fill color (the parent element’s fill attribute), and white has been used as the pattern color (the parent element’s color attribute) . When the shading is applied, the mask is tiled as necessary to match the size of the shaded area. Enumeration Value Description clear (No Pattern) Specifies that there shall be no pattern used on the current shaded region (i.e. the pattern shall be a complete fill with the background color), as follows: Specifies that the following mask shall be applied as the shading pattern: Enumeration Value Description diagCross (Diagonal Cross Pattern) Specifies that the pattern used on the current shaded region shall be a series of diagonal crosses, as follows: Specifies that the following mask shall be applied as the shading pattern: The full list of shading patterns is included below each will be replaced in the shading table in Part 4, §2.18.85, pages 1,8011,807 as specified above: clear diagCross horzCross horzStripe nil pct10 pct12 pct15 pct20 pct25 pct30 pct35 pct37 pct40 pct45 pct5 pct50 pct55 pct60 pct62 pct65 pct70 pct75 pct80 pct85 pct87 pct90 pct95 reverseDiagStripe solid thinDiagCross thinDiagStripe thinHorzCross thinHorzStripe thinReverseDiagStripe thinVertStripe vertStripe Similar Comments: BR-0038 , CO-0139 , CZ-0056 , DE-0100 , DK-0028 , FR-0335 , GB-0288 , GR-0063 , KE-0045 , PT-0077 , US-0049 , US-0116 , VE-0051
