The z-index SVG 2 requirement is assigned to Tab:

   http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/SVG2_Requirements_Commitments

Hasn't been added to the spec yet, though.

As for SVG 1.1, I don't think it's a good use of time to update that 
document to define stacking contexts; let's just do it in SVG 2 itself. 
  Defining which features cause stacking contexts to be created in SVG 
is most of the work for defining how z-index works anyway, so if you 
(Dirk or Rik) wanted to do that, I'd say feel free to.
