We have discussed further the bindings-implementing-interfaces issue in the SVG WG and have resolved that it is acceptable to leave the implementation of all desired interfaces up to the binding author. We played around with writing a binding to implement the standard SVG interfaces for graphical elements and found that most things were possible. (We’ll raise a separate issue for a feature that needs to be in XBL for a remaining case, though.)
