There are competing goals: 1. Simplicity. From a systems perspective, not having to perform entity expansion or CDATA parsing is undeniably simpler. 2. Implementability. It should be possible to implement using an off-the-shelf XML parser without spending a ton of effort configuring it for exactly our situation. 3. Conformity. Allowing too many "conforming" implementations to have wildly different behavior means we, as a standardization body, have failed. We're missing some data on 2. I'll do some research to determine what some off-the-shelf parsers do by default and how difficult it is to configure them to have the opposite behavior. -- GitHub Notification of comment by litherum Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/672#issuecomment-484230187 using your GitHub account
