Can I use HTML tags inside an SVG tag?

Question

I'd like to use regular HTML tags (for instance an input tag) within an SVG tag.

Why? I would like my SVG graphic to be able to get text from the user (eg, the user clicks on a box drawn with SVG and enters text on it), so I was thinkig about using HTML input tags within an SVG tag. Is this possible?

If the answer is no (which most probably will), how can I allow a user edit SVG text?

There is already an answer to that question:

how to change svg text tag using javascript innerHTML

But its not accepted.

It seems to be possible when you look at this example
