I'm not sure this is theoretical purity. The "namespaced" stuff won't work as expected in HTML documents because it won't actually be in the expected namespace or have the expected localname (assuming people are basing their expectations on Namespaces in XML). Therefore whatever processes people have for working with this metadata from SVG/XML documents won't work as expected when fed input from a text/html parser.
