The SVGWG's opinion today is the opposite - we'd like SVG and HTML to live together as nicely as possible. Getting <style> and <script> to have identical behaviors is one goal of ours. We've even seriously discussed putting SVG2 into the HTML namespace, just to make things simpler for authors. >> If not, please stop arguing that the SVG group wants the currently >> specced behavior. > > I'm not arguing what they want it *today*.

We shouldn't look at parser changes as being "self-sabotage" - that attitude freezes us into the current parser forever. ~TJ
