SVG is basically an expression of XML, and XML uses "element" for everything, so it would be more appropriate, but, TBH, I really don't think anyone reading gives a damn.

I have done a ton of tutorials, myself, and have found that using vernacular, and expressing in basic, readable language, always works best. Being too pedantic can make it seem "stilted."

AFAIK, XML gets it from HTML (which was its inspiration), which got it from SGML (of which HTML was originally an application), all use "element".

But, yes, SVG is an application of XML.
