why was symbol dropped from svg1.2T

why was symbol dropped from svg1.2T**

whilst hardly essential symbol does provide useful semantic information.
for instance hunting through code amongst id's and groups it may be  
difficult to identify whole 'symbols'.

** In 1.2T ... there is no <symbol> element.
