I wish I knew what you guys are talking about.

obsolete tag-soupers?
namespace-unaware things?
avoiding the doctype?

What should a relative newbie take away from this dialog? What should
I do differently when working with SVG?

Can somebody build a little clip file in textpad (a great text editor,
at textpad.com), to reflect best SVG practices?

Thanks in advance for tackling this question, 

(A two-part question, really:
1. What should I learn from this dialog?
2. Can anyone build concrete examples into textpad clip libraries
    http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/cliplibs.html
I suspect (perhaps?) that the two SVG Clip libraries there may be a
bit out of date in terms of some of these issues being discussed...
