SVGT 1.2: <use> and <foreignObject>

== This message seems to have died somewhere in transit, resending. ==

Greetings,

I understand that it is not the goal of the SVGT specification to  
cover all possible interactions between SVG and other languages.   
That said, I would still appreciate a comment from the working group  
as to the expected interaction between <use> <foreignObject> and tags  
in other languages (like html) such as forms (<input>, <textarea>,  
etc.) or plugins (<object>, <embed>, etc.)

Should for example 2 copies of a plugin be created for a <use> (the  
original, non-rendered version in <defs>, as well as the used  
instance?)  What happens when a user interacts with one used copy?   
Are all other copies expected to update (think of a flash game,  
instantiated multiple times on the page via <use> of a  
<foreignObject> containing an <embed>)?

And what about forms? If I type text into one used copy of a form  
(<use xlink:href="url(#myForeignObjectWithForms)" />) are all the  
others expected to update?

Thanks,
Eric
