I don't know why SVGElementInstance wasn't made to be a Node, it
happened way before my time, but I would suspect it might be because
it is nigh impossible to add new Node types to the DOM if you're not
the DOM WG. I don't think that making non nodes targets is a problem
though, and I also think that it's several years too late to fix this
if it's broken.
