The first question is how inline SVG cooperates with HTML in general. We did not specify that anywhere to my knowledge. In Blink and WebKit inline SVG elements are handled as replacement elements, same as <img>, <video> or <canvas>. It would make sense to not treat inline SVG elements different from the other elements for these two engines. However, I would like to understand where you see the technical difference to other "graphical" HTML elements like <div> or <p>.
