The xLink attributes are not global to all SVG elements. They only apply to (many) SVG elements. However, these attributes are deprecated and not part of SVG 2. I think it is fine to remove them. svg.elements.a has some of them and if anyone ever feels strongly, we can accept a PR to add them to the other elements as well, but I think it is not worth it right now.
MDN says the following elements can have these attributes, so this would be a lot of new entries for little value IMO.
