Yes, we (SVGWG) is on board with this. We won't introduce new elements that conflict. (Currently, SVG and HTML conflict with <style>, <script>, <a>, and <font>. SVG and MathML conflict in <set> and <image>. HTML and MathML don't conflict at all.) > If the API required the caller to request SVG explicitly, would it be > a sure thing that jQuery would build magic heuristics on the library > side? I just pinged Yehuda to check, but I'd wager that jQuery will add SVG detection to their current context detection if SVG continues its climb into relevance for webdevs. ~TJ
