Description Philip Rogers 2013-12-29 23:27:42 UTC 
The custom element spec was confusing to me around extending an existing SVG element. (I filed crbug.com/330980 by mistake as a result)

On the input section of document.register:
"EXTENDS, the local name of an HTML or SVG element that is being extended, optional"

I read this as "extends" being optional, when it is actually not for SVG elements. Could this be clarified to describe that extends is not optional for SVG elements?

Sure, I can add some informative text.
