I have no idea what the HTML spec means by "replaced element". The
CSS specs have their own definition, which is here:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#replaced-element
and under which the <svg> element clearly falls.

Yes. CSS has no effect on the DOM, therefore nothing in its specs
should be interpreted as affecting the DOM.
