I will say that my impression is that it's less so for SVG than for HTML, presumably because it's less common for SVG files to be entirely hand-written. A few years ago Inkscape used to allow [and even write] scientific format in style attributes, but this was unintentional, and we went to some effort to correct this oversight. User agent writers are still under pressure to display erroneous SVG documents contrary to the error-handling behaviour that the spec gives (that tries to help authors locate and fix erronous SVG); but at least my own impression is that the governing board of the SVG asylum has a higher representation of implementors and spec editors than does the board of the HTML asylum. pjrm.
