SVG is a W3C standard based on XML. SVG is not listed into the Web
Standard Tools but it belongs to the XML family languages. Some support
will be provided. The proposal says that : "The Editor Model will offer
developers a set of APIs to access Web models, participate in build and
refactoring activities, and allow them to easily create various text,
and graphical editors."

The Web artifacts of the Web Standard Tools subproject will represent
Web standard models and will include, for example, XML family languages
(just like SVG) and JavaScript/ECMAScript. The Editor Model is aimed to
encompass editors in a broad sense, i.e. editors, validators and
document generators. One can say also that The Web Standard Tools
subproject plans hybrid source editing (see "Some Architectural
Principles" section). So, one can add that hybrid SVG/JavaScript is in
the focus of the proposal.
