Coming into this late, and don't generally have anything intelligent to add, but I *can* add that there is more to the copy and paste issue than you suggest here. The real issue is not that copy and paste errors will cause the SVG to fail. As you correctly say, that's true today. The issue is that copy and paste errors *today* result in the page ignoring the SVG in some manner (possibly requiring the page author to hack around the broken markup, because they don't understand what's wrong and think that the browser is being stupid). If not handled correctly, though, those same errors tomorrow (in an HTML5 browser) will result in the page itself being broken, possibly in a major way. ~TJ
