Detect if SVG in text/html is supported, with a modification of this check: http://diveintohtml5.info/everything.html#inline-svg

var e = document.createElement('div');
e.innerHTML = '<svg></svg>';
return !!('SVGSVGElement' in window && e.firstChild instanceof window.SVGSVGElement);

If supported, use it to innerHTML the markup.

If not, create a new document in either an iframe or an object, then importNode from the iframe/object's document to the current window's document.
