To clarify, hixies proposal is what we are testing with right now. We have not yet made any decisions about what to do if we get to a point when we are ready to ship an HTML5 parser, but the HTML5 spec still does not specify SVG-in-HTML. Personally I would like to see something that is even more HTMLy than Hixies current proposal. I don't like at all that we have to use a different tokenizer in "HTML mode" and in "foreign content mode". This is both confusing to web developers and painful for end users (as performance and code complexity suffers). / Jonas
