I would recommend to use the SVG DOM for your manipulation. The SVG DOM is our model and the repaint will work properly if you are using the DOM to manipulate your SVG content. For MouseEvent, use a regular DOM EventListener. In an authoring tool context, the capture phase might be really useful (provide a way to override the user behavior defined in the SVG document you are currently editing).
