Why is it that well-formedness isn't required for SVGs in HTML pages to begin with? If it's not well-formed, you could just say it doesn't display. In HTML, well-formedness requirements would make it impossible to use legacy content, but that doesn't apply to SVG. All other SVG applications require well-formedness (right?) -- if HTML doesn't, then it will be impossible to reliably copy SVGs from HTML pages to other applications, creating interoperability problems. While requiring well-formedness has its downsides, I can't see how they outweigh the interop problems this would create.
