Binding to SVG nodes with a class selector broken by 1.8.2

[jesse@…]

The same event binding works in 1.8.1, but not in 1.8.2. In this example, the circle should turn red on hover:

jQuery 1.8.1: ​http://jsfiddle.net/3aEcw/

jQuery 1.8.2: ​http://jsfiddle.net/mvFrJ/

(I confirmed the issue on Chrome 22, WebKit Nightly, and FireFox 15.)

See #10791 and use [class~="classname"] instead.

Keeping this open because I'm not sure what changed between 1.8.1 and 1.8.2, since we had closed it wontfix long ago.

Unfortunately, we don't support SVG, and even though this worked in the past, it's not something we're supporting so we're not going to fix it for now. If we decide to support SVG in the future, we'll reopen and address this issue.

Thanks!
