Answer 1

What is jQuery for Document.createElementNS()?

That would be:

$(document.createElementNS('namespace', 'tag'))

So in the OP's case:

rect = $(document.createElementNS(lu('svg'), 'rect'))
    .addClass('emleGraphicOutline')
    .attr({
        x: 35,
        y: 25,
        width: 200,
        height: 50
    });

But not much is really gained by using jQuery for that, of course. In any case, one can always wrap DOM nodes in jQuery with e.g. $(rect) after creating rect with vanilla JS.

Note that jQuery has other issues with SVG, such as breaking viewBox due to lowercasing attributes, so plain JS must still be used for some attributes.

For SVG, I have used Keith Wood's jquery.svg for some evaluation type projects.
