SVG fragments in XHTML can already not be imported in SVG tools without  
issues. Consider references to elsewhere in the document (outside the  
fragment), dependencies on ECMAScript functions defined in an XHTML  
<script> block that resides in the <head> element, et cetera. In the end  
you want tools that support both and not just the graphic. After all, if  
all you care about is the grahpic, you might as well use <object> or <img>.
