Silverlight is an example of a vocabulary that is truly draconian.  Not 
just at the syntax level, but at the DOM level.  Add a single element 
that is not recognized, and none of the image is drawn.  Not one bit.

By contrast, every SVG rendering engine I've come across will render 
what it can from the DOM it is presented.

As someone who routinely hand authors XHTML + SVG (and have done so for 
years), it disappoints me that this discussion so far has focused on the 
easily correctable issues.  Ones that can be corrected in seconds by the 
use of the following web service:
