Ah OK; I guess I misunderstood you, and thought that with
   "[...] which says which "plugin" to the SVG user agent will parse the
   contents of the foreignObject and produce a rendering based on those
   contents."
you meant vendor specific mechanisms, or stuff specifiying which 
implementation is required (vendor/product wise, not feature wise).
