Value of a foreign input element is an attribue about linkedom

[WebReflection]

The XML world has no special nodes so far and it doesn't interoperate with the HTMLInputElement at all, you just have plain raw XML nodes. I need to orchestrate a similar dance to register special cases or even reuse classes from the HTML world but if you want to give it a try I'll welcome a PR (as I have very little time these days to work on this project, sorry).

Hi @WebReflection,
Thanks for the fast response!
Sorry to hear that you have little time, but that's part of the open source development experience ;-)

Did some debugging this evening, but not sure if I have enough knowledge about the topic to be able to create a PR...

It is required to add an xmlns to the foreign html input element, otherwise it won't be visualized inside the svg:

I read that the xmlns is inherited by the child elements, so I 'assume' that that attribute determines whether an element is an svg element or not?

But at this moment it looks like the mimeType parameter (of the parseFromString function) is used to determine the type, and that that parameter is being used for ALL elements. So I assume some change needs to be done in the following function:

I first thought that the xlmns attribute had to be taken into account as an extra condition on line 63, but for mime type "image/svg+xml" the isHTML is false, so I go directly to line 85 where the svg document creates always svg elements.

So I am a bit stuck...
