[svg2] Proposal: adjust the content model of <view>

Hi,

the content model of the <view> element is "any number of 'descriptive  
elements'". Unlike most other elements in svg it doesn't list 'animation  
elements'. All attributes on the view element except 'viewTarget' are  
animatable.

Proposal: add 'animation elements' to the content model of <view>

Rationale: since most of the attributes on <view> are animatable, it makes  
sense to allow animation element children because that is the default way  
to have an animation target an element. Note that the animation effect is  
required anyway, since you can always put the animation elements elsewhere  
and then target the <view> element with xlink:href. So, this is not really  
introducing new functionality, it's more about relaxing document validity  
constraints.
