Hm, I'm just reading a bit more deeply here. It seems that all browser implementations of SVG allow expando properties to be set on DOM nodes, and it's only Batik that doesn't work. However, Cameron suggests a path to add this functionality, and Thomas even points out that the Lobo browser already supports this (it's probably not possible just to copy the code from Lobo to Batik, though, due to the GPL licensing on Lobo).
So maybe this functionality should be interpreted as a de facto standard, as it's supported by all of the browser implementations? It certainly seems to me to be the most elegant approach to fulfilling my project's requirements. I wonder if setting expandos on DOM nodes is also supported in the embedded SVG implementations (assuming they support scripting with JavaScript). What do you think?
