Hi, Ian-

Thanks for the response.

Very good examples, Ian, and I suspect more XML scripting languages are on
the way. My only question is whether these would need to be contained within
a script block, or only properly namespaced (and accessed in a UA that
implements them)? I would be happy to raise this as a topic for discussion
with the SVG WG, if the public consensus is that they need to be (or can be)
executable children of a script element.
