Actually, that's not correct. If we wanna get technical, the full names of the vehicles are:
SVT F150 Lightning
SVT Mustang Cobra
SVT should come first (Focus and Contour) before the model name.
Yes, but when someone refers to the vehicles, no one says "I drive a 2000 SVT F150 Lightning" or "I drive a 99 SVT Mustang Cobra".
Whereas when referring to the Focus or Contour, "SVT" must be stated before or after "SVT Contour/Focus" "Contour/Focus SVT".
wrong
Right. 
I've talked to many Lightning and Cobra owners and NEVER once heard any of them say "I drive a 2000 SVT F150 Lightning" or "I drive a 99 SVT Mustang Cobra".
Did I say "techincal" name? No I didn't. I said in the real world.

They may not refer to it like that, but like I said, "technically" it's the name. And there is no stating SVT after when referring to the Contour or Focus. Focus/Contour SVT is wrong, plain and simple. It's a bit more than a trim level distinction.
Really? Not quite.
Not according to this

I could go on...

The P## in VIN in the code is trim level, of which P68 is SVT.
BTW:
P65= 95-98 GL, 98.5-99 LX
P66= 95-98 LX, 98.5-00 SE
P67= 95-98 SE
