The SVG is, itself, XML. Doesn't matter how you want to think of it in HTML, it is XML. And when people go to copy the SVG/XML back out of the HTML into a separate file for further re-distribution, not having the CC license in a format that can be copied with the SVG violates the strictures that the CC license must be maintained with the work.
