Because SVG is a form of XML, it can only be embedded directly in an
XML file. HTML is not XML; XHTML is. So if you need to use SVG in
plain HTML, you would put the SVG in a separate file, and reference
it using an OBJECT tag.

Forgive me if I take you back to "web programming 101" but I am
curious about a behavior I'm seeing and would appreciate a pointer
to the documentation where I can learn more.
I've created an html file that has an embedded SVG element:
the SVG content was more or less shamelessly copied from the SVG
site at w3c.
If I save this in a file with a ".html" extension, the SVG is not
rendered in the daily build of WebKit or in Firefox. However, if I
give it a ".xhtml" extension, it appears to do what I want.
I've searched w3.com and the list archives to no avail. I don't
have a problem with the behavior, but I'm trying to learn and I
would like to learn more about WHY the browsers behave this way.
Can someone point me to the relevant section of whichever spec sets
this out as the correct behavior?
Scott
