VML is IE-only (when I last looked, years ago) SVG is standards based
and cross browser.

I suspect that Google's client-side JavaScript sniffs browser type and
serves one or the other accordingly. With the poor XML compliance of
older M$oft tools, it might even be essential to put it on the root
element.

If it's important to have this namespace, and it doesn't break anythign
(spare unrecognised attributes don't) then I'd leave it in place and
stop worrying about perfect validity.
