The SVGTiny12 spec suggests support for HTML and MathML languages in <foreignObject>. It also shows the use of "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" and "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" as requiredExtensions strings:

Firefox has supported these languages in SVG and recognized these requiredExtensions values since at least 2008/2009:

The inclusion of foreign object is useful to mix diagrams and formulas and has been discussed e.g. in MathJax mailing lists.

Here are reftests from the MathJax test suite which are currently failing in Chrome/Safari:
