You can't mix namespaces in HTML, you need to use XHTML and you need a browser that supports[A] XHTML as XML (i.e. with an xhtml+xml (spelling?) media types - IE6 doensn't - and the browser needs to natively support both XHTML and SVG namespaces. I believe W3C's Amaya is such a browser. I believe Mozilla/Firefox can be built as such a browser, but the default build doesn't support SVG. (Note that one criticism during the recent SVG specfication review was that the SVG working group puts a low priority on mixed namespaces.) [A] But note that IE6 supports namespace syntax in nominally HTML documents, and in XHTML in HTML fallback mode.
