The SVG-in-HTML tests cited by MSDN are known to be broken, do not conform to the HTML5 parsing rules or the DOM specification, and in fact make use of an IE bug. Microsoft's engineers know about this bug _and_ the fact that the test itself is wrong [1][2], so it is surprising that this test is touted as an important one in furthering interoperability between browsers. Firefox's beta builds, on the other hand, actually do have an HTML5 parser in place [3], and nightly builds [4] will pass legitimate tests for SVG-in-HTML parsing. Additionally, some of the CSS tests listed on MSDN are inaccurate, and browsers that actually pass these tests are not compliant with the standard. There is an official CSS3-selectors test suite where we pass all the relevant pieces [5] and we think that for web developers, sites like caniuse.com [6] are much more useful when discussing HTML5, CSS3, and SVG support in browsers. Mozilla will continue to contribute to open and fair test suites that adhere to the specifications in question [7], and encourage other browser vendors to do so as well."
