http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-SVG11-20030114/styling.html states:

[...]
  For each styling property defined in this specification (see Property
  Index), there is a corresponding XML attribute (the presentation
  attribute) with the same name that is available on all relevant SVG
  elements.
[...]

Changing that in SVG 1.2 to what you suggest might be a reasonable
solution though, I am looking forward to an official proposal.
