I see the note in that section you link that says:

The "this may change in the future" part sounds like someone thought that it 
might be the case in the future.  Saying that SVG 2 "includes HTML5-compatible 
parsing" is a bit odd, though, since that behavior is defined in the HTML spec. 
 In any case, given the group's intended focus on stabilizing and documenting 
what is currently implemented and interoperable, I doubt that making such a 
change would be in scope.
