If svgcheck does anything, removing all namespaces that aren't the SVG 
namespace would be helpful.  That includes namespace prefix bindings, like the 
RDF one mentioned.  It should probably also remap any SVG namespace to the 
empty prefix, so that you don't get things like <svg:path d="..."> throughout.

Of course, svgcheck probably needs to be completely overhauled in light of the 
changes we're considering.  There are some things that are useful to catch with 
tooling, but it won't be the narrow profile of the past.
