Expected results:

In contextMenus.create() / update(), I think there should be a property based on Element.namespaceURI similar to documentUrlPatterns and targetUrlPatterns.
Or, adding "svg" and "mathml" to contextMenus.ContextType.

You can write SVG and MathML inline in HTML5.
Current contextMenus API does not have a way to detect if it was clicked on an SVG / MathML element when context menu is displayed.

It looks like bug 1215376 is about live update of the context menu item properties.
I need context menu item that only appears in SVG/MathML context.

Something like:

contextMenus.create({
  contexts: ["svg"],
});
