What specific section or headline is this issue about?

First example

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

<link> needs xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" to work, since <link> is not a SVG element. The existing xmlns:xlink in the example is not sufficent.

What did you expect to see?

Either xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" in the SVG element and xhtml:link... to reference the stylesheet, or a local namespace declaration like this:

<link xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" rel="stylesheet" href="style8.css" type="text/css" />

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
