FYI, now that things are sort of quiescent, I'm going to start on disambiguating the SVG and null namespaces, as I have threatened to do in the past.
This means that (internally) we'll start using the svg: prefix to refer to SVG element names. "g" will become "svg:g" etc. Probably we will hide the "svg:" prefix in the XML editor though.
I must have missed something, but what is the reason? Our elements are already in the SVG namespace, even without any prefix, because that is the default namespace declared in the document's root. Why add the prefix?
