One aspect of SVG-in-text/html that we discussed recently was that we would request that <title> be parsed as RCDATA. Sam Ruby points out that SVG 1.1 states that <title> “can contain marked-up text from other namespaces”[1]. I don’t think I remembered/realised that SVG 1.1 said that at the time. SVG Tiny 1.2, on the other hand, says that it must contain just text. Does this impact our decision? I’m wondering also if someone could tell me the exact i18n problems allowing markup rather than plain text solves. Do the Unicode bidi control characters (like RLE, PDF, etc.) not allow you to do everything you need to? If there isn’t a compelling reason here to allow markup, then I’m in favour of keeping our request for it to be parsed as RCDATA in HTML 5.
