In http://www.w3.org/2015/08/25-svg-minutes.html#item03 <http://www.w3.org/2015/08/25-svg-minutes.html#item03> we resolved that <view> doesn’t define a view for its closest ancestor <svg>, but the outer <svg>.  If we allowed <use> to reference <view>, and if we were consistent with this decision, it wouldn’t be so useful.
