In the meantime, to workaround the different behavior across implementations one may set "xml:space" property in the root element to force a "default" behavior (affecting the whole document)... ;-) Having this discussed and adding a clarification in the SVG specification (still in time for SVG 1.1 Second Edition?) might be nice.
