[[
I notice that text selection and clipboard operations are still
recommended by the SVG spec [1], but I would consider it useful if SVG
Viewers that support "Find Text" operations also supported "Find Text"
in SVG <text> and <textArea> elements.  Additionally, some suggested
behavior that SVG Viewers should follow in the case of text fragment
being found would be useful to improve interoperability across
implementations (pan and zoom to text?).
