We have discussed this a few times, and I would desparately love for it to work, but I am unconvinced it will. I can an imagine an author writing code like: if (!elt.className) ... to test if a class has been set. Even if we made the SVGElement.className SVGAnimatedString object one that stringifies to the class, add a [PutForwards] on to it so that assigning a string works, it would still break the above code, since the ! operator always returns false for an object.
