The HTML2XML sample program that comes with the Validator.nu HTML Parser converts text/html to application/xhtml+xml in a way that makes the result friendly for copying and pasting into an SVG editor. In fact, the result is more friendly arbitrary application/xhtml+xml content would be. That is, the converter doesn't hoist the SVG and XLink namespace declarations away to root element. http://about.validator.nu/htmlparser/ -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
