The key words you seem to have missed are "strict", "checking", and "be sure". If an SVG user agent does incremental rendering, it is not checking for strict well-formedness of the whole document before working with it. Regardless of whether the document is required to be well-formed, whether it actually is cannot be determined before the entire document has been loaded and checked. Granted, I am not intimately familiar with the SVG specification, but from what I have read, they were not able to work temporal displacement into it yet. Maybe the next revision will have that.
