Re: [svgwg] Require HTML 5 parser to correctly parse embedded HTML elements

I guess this attempts to reflect the workings of the "foreign content 
mode" [1] in the HTML parser.
`<title>`, `<desc>` and `<foreignObject>` are all "HTML integration 
point"s [2] so get special treatment. It's quite possible there's some
 old discussions around this, but I think it boils down to a certain 
amount of "reluctance" to modify the HTML parser algorithm.
