Introduction
The a element is used to create a hyperlink around SVG elements. The a element uses attributes in the XLink namespace and thus, attributes like href and title must be prefixed with a namespace prefix that maps to "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink".
HTML has an <a> element which serves a similar purpose.
