A trivial SAX filter can be used to prefix a set of SVG elements, it  
wouldn't be hard to ship a small utility that did the job. Of course  
this assumes also having an HTML5 parser around, but I guess that  
won't be a problem eventually.

I actually think that that's the best way of doing fallback for UAs  
that don't support SVG. As a variation of what's in the spec, just  
wrap the content not only in a foreignObject but also in a switch  
requiring a feature that doesn't exist (it could even be reserved as  
such).
