RE: [SVGMobile12] Comment: Please give specific error-handling behaviour

I think Ian's comment is well placed. With the proliferation of viewers
pending, authoring will be a bear unless we shoot for as much consistency as
possible. Alos, explicit treatment of each case during design is the best
way to expose possible unforeseen problems.
