That is what the spec says but that is not what implementations do.

Sure.  I'd be happy with keeping the special SVG behaviour here too. 
Ian, if you still would prefer a hook in the SVG spec for you to refer

document element -- then I can define for example "SVG title element" 
that represents that element.
