In practice, HTML5 is designed to integrate with SVG 1.1 Full and any  
compatibility with parts of SVG 1.2 Tiny is incidental. Personally, I  
think expending effort towards integrating with SVG 1.2 Tiny isn't  
worthwhile, since SVG 1.2 Tiny doesn't target the same environment  
that HTML 5 and SVG 1.1 Full target. I think the next iteration should  
be integrating with the next Full thing (which I'm hoping to drop  
stuff like XML Events). (Is it now called SVG 2.0 Core or something  
like that?)

Exactly the same kind as {http://www.w3.org/2000/svg}svg creates in  
application/xhtml+xml.

In exactly the same way is in SVG in application/xhtml+xml.

(I guess this point and the previous one count as CDF FAIL if this  
stuff isn't already specced for application/xhtml+xml...)

It should probably only reference SVG 1.1 Full.
