I'm trying to re-implement Range.createContextualFragment in Blink
following this whatwg spec:

There are two issues I'd like to discuss, related to the use of
createContextualFragment in SVG contexts.
1) If a Range's context is an<svg> element, I think the XML parsing
algorithm should be selected, so the elements in the resulting
DocumentFragment would get the SVG namespace. This way, inserting the
fragment in an<svg> tree would have the intended effect.
Examples:
https://bug711821.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=582654
(the red circle should be completely covered by a black circle)
https://codereview.chromium.org/115693010/diff/70001/LayoutTests/fast/dom/Range/create-contextual-fragment-from-svg-element-range.html
I think it would be unexpected that XML parsing is used here, when HTML
parsing was used to get the SVG fragment in the document in the first
place. Maybe the HTML fragment parsing algorithm should be changed to
push the <svg> element on to the stack of open elements so that the
parser will interpret the "<circle .../>" as foreign content?
