Re: [svgwg] [svg-native] Support for XML entities/CDATA required? (#672)

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.
