Being an XML grammar means SVG can leverage work done around XML, and SVG actually leverages other grammars such as XLink, for linking and SMIL for the animation. Beyond the use and mix with other XML syntaxes, being an XML grammar lets SVG benefit from the plethora of XML tools that make it so easy to manipulate, generate, search and edit SVG files.
