Building above-DOM support for SVG or MathML takes more effort than building the below-DOM part. Chances are that if there ever is a need to add another substantial chunk of element vocabulary to the Web platform so that it doesn't fall under XHTML, SVG or MathML, implementing the above-DOM part will take more effort than tweaking the below-DOM parsing algorithm. That's why generalizing away the need to tweak the below-DOM part in the future seems like the wrong optimization especially if it the generalization requires the SVG and MathML cases carry more boilerplate. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
