Nah, they should be removed from DOM Core instead. Doesn't make sense to make these global given that they work differently in SVG and HTML.
Comment 2 Cameron McCormack 2012-02-02 01:47:34 UTC 
For className, yeah we've got a consistency problem between SVG and HTML.  For classList, though, I don't see any reasons why we wouldn't want to just inherit that from Element on to SVG elements.
Comment 3 Cameron McCormack 2012-02-02 01:50:02 UTC 
(Also it is not problematic if className were on Element, as if SVG retained its own className attribute it would just override this.)
