You get the HTML <a>.  Does it *ever* make sense to have <svg:a> (or
<svg:anythingelse>) a direct child of <html:whatever>, rather than with
a <svg:svg> in between?

I would expect "add" to mean appends, but I suppose you could have an
optional further argument which was either the element to insert after,
or magic constants for "at beginning"/"at end", like lseek().
