HTML5 supports the <svg> tag, allowing to embed SVG into HTML.
Digging a little deeper, can I nest some HTML inside my <svg> fragment? For example, I'd like to put a CSS'ed <table> in some part of my SVG graphics.
I made a small test and Chrome12 didn't like the HTML <p> inside the <svg>.
Is there some technique to make it work (such as maybe an html container tag?)?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>HTML inside SVG</title>
<style type="text/css"></style></head>
<body>
<div>I'm a div inside the HTML</div>
<svg width="500" height="300" style="border:1px red solid" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<foreignobject class="node" x="46" y="22" width="100" height="100">
<div style="border:1px green solid">I'm a div inside a SVG.</div>
</foreignobject>
<circle cx="100" cy="160" r="50" fill="blue"></circle>
</svg>
<div>Interesting! But you a Foreign Object.</div>
</body>
</html>UPDATE
Note that there is a 'camel error' in the above - it's supposed to be foreignObject (capital O), not foreignobject. It doesn't matter if the misspelling is in 'straight' HTML/SVG. But if you use JavaScript (.createElementNS), then it won't work without proper camel case (April 2020)
