<svg:a> and <html:a> have totally different content models and rendering
models. For example, while it's possible to style <html:a> via color
and background doing that on an <svg:a> doesn't get you what you want at
all; fill-color and stroke-color are more likely to be what's wanted there.

Except for the little caveat about totally different box models....

It's not acceptable for user sheets either, nor in my opinion for author
sheets.
