As far as I can tell it is about using <svg:image href='...' />, not about using `xlink:href` without `xmlns:xlink` namespace prefix declaration. I do not think your idea is worth persuing unless you want to make much bigger changes like using a wholly new media type and using a non-XML syntax. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
