9437,Allow the use of inline SVG in posts,codedread,anonymous,"My WordPress 2.5 install serves the application/xhtml+xml MIME type (true XHTML) for the purposes of inlining SVG which I've done on my 'blog chrome'.  However, if I try to inline SVG in the contents of a post as follows:

<svg xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"">
  <circle cx=""50"" cy=""50"" r=""30"" fill=""blue"">
    <animateTransform attributeName=""transform"" type=""scale"" to=""1.5"" dur=""2s"" fill=""freeze""/>
  </circle>
</svg>

WordPress mangles it into:

<svg xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/2000/svg""><br />
  <circle cx=""50"" cy=""50"" r=""30"" fill=""blue""><br />
    <animatetransform attributeName=""transform"" type=""scale"" to=""1.5"" dur=""2s"" fill=""freeze""/><br />
  </circle><br />
</svg>

There are two problems with this:

1) WordPress converts the <animateTransform> element into a <animatetransform> element.  WordPress should at least preserve the case of the element (whether this is on a whitelist of SVG elements or all elements I don't care).  List of SVG elements are here: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/eltindex.html

2) The extra <br /> elements.  These are forgivable since the elements are simply ignored by the browser's SVG parser.

Can someone confirm the behavior in WordPress 2.7.x?",feature request,reopened,normal,Future Release,Formatting,2.5,normal,,needs-patch,codedread@… blizzard@…
