This isn't acceptable to most people. It certainly isn't something that it would make sense to encourage. The worst possible outcome here would be for browsers like IE to start trying to parse this "SVG" in text/html, because the lack of any sensible parsing rules for it would guarentee that we're faced with even more "tag soup", thus undoing all the work that the HTML5 spec is trying to do to get us past that. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
