I agree rejecting it was the right.

Yep, why is there no corresponding methods to next/previous on SVGDocument 
to perform navigation via these directional ones?   I think this would be 
useful, either by extending next/previous so that it takes an optional 
parameter specifying a direction  e.g.  next(SVG_NAV_UP); or by new methods.
