The HTML5 spec now contains a proposal for SVG-in-HTML (i.e. text/html serialization). This includes things like:
* unquoted attributes
* case-insensitive element and attribute names
* no requirement for tags to be closed
* no requirement for namespace declarations
For example, the following document is a valid syntax for SVG-in-HTML:
It should be possible to copy from "<Svg" to the end of the rect element "#0f0>" paste it into a text document and bring that file up in Inkscape. Of course the DOM serialization and saving the SVG document in Inkscape would produce the following SVG XML document:
