This would allow to get a string representation of any SVG DOM tree. Once we have such a string representation, it's trivial to produce a DATA URI. Indeed, this would be nice and was discussed before. I would rather not create a 'innerSVG' function but reuse 'innerHTML'. It might be the wrong naming schema, but authors would expect it to work. 'innerhHTML' is defined in 'HTMLElement.idl' at the moment. This definition would need to move to 'Element.idl'. The HTML WG and WEBAPS WG need to agree on that.
