I think you never used <defs></defs> tag before did you? The point of <defs> and <g> is to predeclare such figure so that the printing order is not rendered as it is described, i.e. from top to bottom in terms of XML code it's pre-rendered in any order, then you can display it using the <use> command. So, if you are faced with such situation, you simply make sure that you render the object before inside the <defs> tag part, then you render your table again inside the <defs> tag and then you render it in any way you want, it the normal area under <svg>...</svg> parent instead of <svg><defs>...</defs></svg> That's why I'm saying XHTML table are okay for SVG, it's just that some people don't like it and feel that it was simply abused by HTML programmer for layout purposes, which as far as I'm concern there is nothing wrong with that.
