One option would be to have SVG say what it does now, and to have the HTML5 spec explicitly say that the content model of <title> in SVG in text/html is limited to what HTML5 calls "phrasing content". This basically excludes what HTML4 calls "block-level elements", and includes things like <span> and <ruby>. I don't really have an opinion on exactly what the right solution here is. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
