Since I opened this bug, I'll note that I certainly wouldn't want the
resolution of this to cause legal problems for implementations. I'd have no
objection to 
the text being pulled back into the html spec until such time that there is
somewhere else for it to go that is covered by the relevant patent protection.
(I don't know how long it would take to get a version of the DOM parsing spec
under the patent protection policy)

If it is pulled back into html it would be good if there is at least a non
normative note saying that the specification of innerHTML is defined on
HTMLelement but that it is planned to move it to Element, and implementations
should make it available on MathML and SVG elements as well as HTML.
