Martijn, Althought sXBL only targets SVG, it has a general design that can be applied to other presentation XML grammars. Adobe has implemented an extension such that sXBL works with both SVG and XHTML. We have found that there is nothing that is SVG-specific about sXBL. Going forward, we are all hoping the W3C will move quickly towards XBL 2.0 which will be approved by the W3C to officially support a more general range of XML-based presentation grammars such as CSS-styled XHTML. The XBL task force wants XBL 2.0 to be a superset of sXBL. With all of this beyond-SVG forward thinking in mind, and the fact that sXBL (and its follow-on XBL 2.0) is a standalone, orthogonal, module, the XBL Task Force and the SVG Working Group believe that it is appropriate to put the XBL elements in their own namespace.
