I promised Dmitri some use cases from the SVG WG’s perspective, but
haven’t managed to get to working on these yet.  Whatever solution we
have in the end – and I personally am not really fussed about whether it
is XBL2 as it was, or is now, or something new based on Dmitri’s
requirements document – I would like it to be able to work without an
HTML document present.  I want to be able to write a document like

  <svg …>
    <star cx="100" cy="100" points="5"/>
  </svg>

or

  <svg …>
    <my:star xmlns:star="…" cx="100" cy="100" points="5"/>
  </svg>

or

  <svg …>
    <g class="star" cx="100" cy="100" points="5"/>
  </svg>

or

  <svg …>
    <g binding="star" cx="100" cy="100" points="5"/>
  </svg>

(choosing <g> here because it’s kind of similar to a <div>), one of
those.  Sorry for not having more concrete comments yet.
