It was more principled, not sure about compatibility. Most of the HTML parser depends on modes. Then requiring <svg> makes sense. Just like it "makes sense" to require <table> for <td> not to be dropped. However, <template> was designed to work with any element, irrespective of mode. So <td> should work without <table> anywhere. Following that logic, it would make sense if <circle> worked without <svg> anywhere. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/
