javascript - Including SVG template in Angularjs directive

Question

<div ng-app="testrectApp">
<svg>
    <rect height="10" width="10" style="fill: #00ff00" />
    <testrect />
</svg>
</div>

And this is my directive

module.directive('testrect', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        template: '<rect top="20" left="20" height="10" width="10" style="fill: #ff00ff" />',
        replace: true
    };
});

But this is what the element ends up looking like in the browser. The fill twice is not a typo.

<rect top="20" left="20" height="10" width="10" style="fill: #ff00ff;fill: #ff00ff"></rect>

Here's a jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/RG2CF/

Is what I'm trying to do not possible or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

EDIT: I should add that the issue may have to do with the fact that the template svg rect is namespaced to xhtml instead of svg, but I'm unsure of how I can force this or namespace it back to svg, if that is actually the solution.

There is a templateNamespace property you can set to svg:

module.directive('testrect', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        templateNamespace: 'svg',
        template: '<rect .../>',
        replace: true
    };
});

Here is a link to the documentation.
