Non-svg children of a svg container won't draw anything, as painting 
goes through a svg paint propagation scheme at that point, so anything
that doesn't implement the nsISVGChildFrame interface won't be notified
to draw.  If you place the non-svg content in a <svg:foreignObject> then
it should be drawn correctly.

Looking at the SVG specification, I couldn't see if what we currently 
implement is what should be happening for compound documents or not. 
Compound documents structured the other way around, with svg as the 
"embedded language" should work fine with our current implementation.

If you could make the full examples of what you're experimenting with 
available it would be useful as we try to figure out the correct behavior.

Thanks.
