SVGSVGElement is missing method node.getAttribute

See original GitHub issue

Running the following code with LitElement

html`<svg viewport="0 0 1 1"></svg>`

Results in the following error:

 TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of null

      40 |                         var attributeValue = node.getAttribute(attributeLookupName);
      41 |                         node.removeAttribute(attributeLookupName);
    > 42 |                         var statics = attributeValue.split(exports.markerRegex);
         |                                                      ^
      43 |                         this.parts.push({ type: 'attribute', index: index, name: name_1, strings: statics });
      44 |                         partIndex += statics.length - 1;

SVGElement should extend Element but extends HTMLElement. Is that why?
