Re: [svgwg] Check definition of Graphical elements

The SVG Working Group just discussed `HTML media elements in SVG`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Topic: HTML media elements in SVG<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Github: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/563<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: I made a PR, Amelia has already reviewed. I initially was wondering whether these should stay as graphical elements, but since there is no support I just removed them completely.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: Removing completely? Oh, for direct reference only. But they would still work in foreignObject.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: yes<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: No implementations and limited interest. The PR also covers SVGUnknownElement. I'm not even sure if there's agreement whether that's a good idea. It could also require changes in the HTML parser.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: No problem with the removal.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: For the media elements, the main interest was from non-browser software, to be able to use multimedia without a full HTML+CSS implementation. But that means less likelihood that browsers will move forward to implement.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... So deferring makes sense for now.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... For SVGUnknownElement, that's a bit of a breaking change. Not sure if just deferring will fix anything. Maybe just accept to remove.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: Well, we can decide the future later. But do we agree to remove from 2.0?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: Yes.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: Yes<br>
&lt;gsnedders> Yes.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: I had specific questions on the PR, making sure we don't accidentally remove other text, but support for the general idea.<br>
