+
+		While the outermost document needs to get the user's preference directly,
+		it's more useful for an embedded document
+		to use the color scheme of its surrounding embedding context,
+		so it matches the surrounding content.
+
+		However, this enables communication
+		from the embedding document to the embedded document,
+		so it's currently restricted to SVG's
+		using the "Secure Animated" mode,
+		which can't load external resources
+		or run script,
+		and thus can't respond to the color scheme
+		in any way observable to the outside world.
+
+		Whether or not to do similar for iframes,
+		and under what conditions,
+		is being discussed in
+		<a href="https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7213/">Issue 7213</a>.
