Painful, but I doubt it's something that can be changed. http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-document-createelement Under http://people.mozilla.org/~cmccormack/improving-svg-dom createElement would still put the element in HTML namespace, but they would then still implement SVGElement and have all their usual SVG element behaviour.
