Section 5.1.2 The 'svg' element says:
# This attribute is read-only and cannot be modified via the uDOM
# api. Attempt to set the 'version' attribute with the setAttributeNS
# must result in an NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR being raised.
Please edit the spec so that it can't be misinterpreted to read that
the setAttributeNS() method in DOM 3 Core should also raise that
exception in the given case.
This is needed because a literal interpretation would make the
following script raise an exception in a UA that implements DOM 3
Core, which would be a problem for any dynamic content creation:
<script>
var svg = document.createElementNS(svgNS, 'svg');
svg.setAttributeNS(null, 'version', '1.2');
</script>
This would also be incompatible with earlier versions of SVG.
This same problem is also present for the "baseProfile" attribute.
