According to the SVG DTD these are allowed on the use Element
(actually any element that has an xlink:href - as they are the rest of
the attributes from the 'xlink' specification). The SVG specification
doesn't generally discuss them as we only use a subset of xlink and so
these attributes are generally not very interesting.

Well you can certainly remove them once they are created. Of
course the document is perfectly valid with them I'm not entirely sure
why they are added by default - the xlink:href attribute is of course
required for the use element and I think the rest are coming along
for 'the ride'. Perhaps someone else can explain why they are needed
(allowing the user to set them should be supported of course).
