I don't know about a source level inclusion but HTML and XHTML have 
elements like "img", "iframe" and "object" to include other documents 
and Opera 10 already supports using SVG documents as the source of an 
HTML img element e.g.
   <img src="someSVG.svg">
and Firefox 4 will support that too (indeed the current nightly 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100909 
Firefox/4.0b6pre I have here already does).
That way you can at least keep HTML and SVG markup in different files.
