My goal is to convert code from Angular 1.3 to Angular 2 (with SVG in both cases).
I tried the following simple test code, which works in case #1 that does not involve interpolation, but does not work in case #2 (which uses interpolation), and AFAICS the only difference in the generated SVG code is the inclusion of an extra attribute in the element: class="ng-binding"
Is there a way to suppress the preceding class attribute, or is there another solution?
Btw I wasn't able to get the formatting quite right (my apologies).

    <!-- The app component created in svg1.es6 -->

      System.paths = {

        'rtts_assert/*': '/quickstart/rtts_assert/*.js', // Runtime assertions
        'svg': 'svg1.es6' // The my-svg component
      };
      System.import('svg');
    </script>    
  </body>
</html>
Contents of the JS file:
import {Component, Template, bootstrap} from 'angular2/angular2';
@Component({
  selector: 'my-svg'
})
    @Template({
    //case 1 works:
      inline: '<svg><ellipse cx="100" cy="100" rx="80" ry="50" fill="red"></ellipse></svg>'
//case 2 does not work:
//inline: "<svg>{{graphics}}</svg>"
})    
class MyAppComponent {
  constructor() {
    this.graphics = this.getGraphics(); 
  }   
  getGraphics() { 
     // return an array of SVG elements (eventually...)
     var ell1 = 
        '<ellipse cx="100" cy="100" rx="80" ry="50" fill="red"></ellipse>';
     return ell1;
  } 
}
bootstrap(MyAppComponent);
                SVG elements do not use the same namespace as HTML elements. When you insert SVG elements into the DOM, they need to be inserted with the correct SVG namespace.
Case 1 works because you are inserting the whole SVG, including the <svg> tags, into the HTML.  The browser will automatically use the right namespace because it sees the <svg> tag and knows what to do.
Case 2 doesn't work because you are just inserting an <ellipse> tag and the browser doesn't realise it is supposed be created with the svg namespace.
If you inspect both SVGs with the browser's DOM inspector, and look at the <ellipse> tag's namespace property, you should see the difference.
