Hi @devongovett. Thanks for PR. I think removeUnusedNS.js removes xmlns:xlink.

That only removes it if it's unused though. In this case, it's always safe to remove xlink:href in HTML. Since this plugin is opt-in, I think it makes sense to do it here as well.

I think it's better to create a separate plugin which removes xlink namespace from xlink:herf as well.
Otherwise some images may be broken.
I can take care of it in a few days.

Ref #1508

The new plugin removes xmlns:xlink from <svg> and replaces xlink:href
with href attribute.

xlink namespace is obsolete in SVG 2. Href attribute is recommended
replacement to xlink:href.

This plugin will be enabled by default in SVGO 3.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/href

I think it should be safe enough. We can always revert if somebody come with issues.
