Hi Cameron, Jonathan,

I think the difference of opinion between
Thomas and me is that Thomas thinks that it is allowable for the UA to
apply the DTD (for #FIXED attributes) to SVG documents even when they
don't have a DOCTYPE declaration, since the DTD is normative in the
spec, whereas I think the DTD should apply only when it is explicitly
referenced.
Also it should be made clear that this is a _very_ odd case from an
SVG specification point of view because we are discussing a programming
API, where a programmer has explicitly requested that a given document
be parsed as an SVG document.
We probably shouldn't be using a SAXSVGDocumentFactory and the
generic factory should decide what DOMImplementation to use based on
evaluation of the document's root element. This requires some sort of
DOM Implementation registry, based on root element tag and namespace,
or perhaps just namespace (allow tag to be null in registry?).
As I've said before I really don't have a strong feeling about this
case. I actually almost removed this previously but in the end it
didn't 'feel right' to remove the SVG namespace from the SVG Document
parser, but it was a close thing, so if you feel strongly you can remove
it.
