Since I was intrigued by this issue, I looked into it still further and I think 
that the problem is more fundamental than I had first thought.  I think the 
problem is your namespace declaration:

><body>
>  <svg width="300px" height="300px" xmlns:fme="http://www.safe.com";>
>    <text x="25" y="50" font-size="24">SVG Circle Element</text>
>    <text x="25" y="275">Click the circle to change its size.</text>
>    <circle cx="125" fme:COUNT="20" cy="150" r="50" fill="pink" stroke="green" 
> stroke-width="5" onclick="doCircle(evt)" />
>  </svg>
></body>

Unfortunately, the HTML5 spec says "The HTML syntax does not support namespace 
declarations, even in foreign elements."  See the full text with an example 
here:
