It makes sense to me, especially given we have already moved className 
and classList up to Element.  I think I recall Anne being reluctant 
though?  (Might have been in the context of a different IDL attribute 
being moved up to Element though.)

Regardless, the SVG WG decided a while ago that data-* attributes and 
the API should be available on SVG elements, so if this doesn't move up 
to Element, we'll make it available on SVGElement.
