i'm using an svg-enabled build. i'm trying to create a simple svg object dnd 
example - with java, not javascript. well, it does not work. :} 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. get the attached tar-ball. it also contains a copy of the smil and svg java  
bindings for your convenience (the jre does not contain them, yet).  
2. run make  
3. start mozilla, open the java console.  
4. open either svg-java.xhtml or svg-java.xml (doesn't matter).  
  
Actual Results:  
the applet bombs out at  
EventTarget bg = (EventTarget)doc.getElementById("bgnd");  
because the node is a HTMLElement instead of an SVGElement.  
later calls will certainly bomb out, too, but it doesn't get that far, 
obviously. 

Expected Results:  
it should work. well, assuming my program is correct. :)))  
   

the same example works just fine with javascript. 
the java bindings are internally realized via liveconnect. so i guess the glue 
just needs to be adopted for other node types than html.

Mozilla doesn't provide Java bindings.
