According to the spec:

xlink:href = "<uri>": A URI reference to an element/fragment within an SVG document fragment whose character data content shall be used as character data for this 'tref' element. All character data within the referenced element, including character data enclosed within additional markup, will be rendered.

Yes, this seems to imply that tref may refer to any element, not just text/tspan. If we want be compliant we must allow that too. But, as far as I remember, text is stored in SPString children, and only text-related SPObjects can have such children anyway, at this time. I'm not sure we can easily extract text from any given element if it's not text, tspan etc.
