Hi,
a <view> element defines a view for its parent <svg> element. The <use>  
element is allowed to reference <svg> elements. So, should <use> be  
allowed to reference a <view> element?

The way that would work, instead of "cloning" the referenced <view>  
element, it would "clone" the parent <svg> of the <view>. Then, make the  
<view> attributes override the corresponding ones on the <svg>. This is  
fairly similar to how <symbol> works.

Cheers
