Ahh.. I guess that is where you got the misunderstanding on priorities. I would have reached the same conclusion if the text you quoted had something like "above everything else..." or "the primary use case is to ....". It *is* the first sentence in the mission statement, so I can see how you read it that way. I'm not belittling the request. I'm not belittling the important the SVG WG and charter place on mixed documents. As Peter said, your proposal may be better suited to mixed-namespace documents (that support CSS).
