Re: [svgwg] xlink:href in <animate>, <use>, etc. doesn't work in sourceless iframes (#700)

The SVG Working Group just discussed `xlink:href in sourceless iframes`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Defer to HTML for how to handle local references inside sourceless iframes`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;heycam> Topic: xlink:href in sourceless iframes<br>
&lt;heycam> github: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/700<br>
&lt;heycam> AmeliaBR: we have discussed this<br>
&lt;heycam> ... this is related to Shadow DOM in the simple sense that it's a similar problem in Shaodw DOM<br>
&lt;heycam> ... same document references in trees that don't have a base URL<br>
&lt;heycam> ... but the iframe is a little more isolated from the parent document<br>
&lt;heycam> ... if cross reference works inside a shadow tree, it should also work inside an iframe document<br>
&lt;heycam> ... that's even more isolated<br>
&lt;heycam> rniwa: I think anchor tag inside sourceless iframe works as well<br>
&lt;heycam> ... this should somehow be resolved in the HTML spec<br>
&lt;heycam> ... so we should be using that mechanism<br>
&lt;heycam> AmeliaBR: is that in the HTML spec?<br>
&lt;heycam> rniwa: hyperlinks already work...<br>
&lt;heycam> AmeliaBR: the special rules for SVG hash references<br>
&lt;heycam> heycam: that's defined in CSS somewhere?<br>
&lt;heycam> AmeliaBR: that's another set of special rulse<br>
&lt;heycam> s/rulse/rules/<br>
&lt;heycam> AmeliaBR: I think we can resolve to file an issue on HTML, and ask them to clarify how these sourceless iframes work with the specific use case of breaking SVGs<br>
&lt;heycam> RESOLVED: Defer to HTML for how to handle local references inside sourceless iframes<br>
&lt;heycam> ACTION: AmeliaBR to file an HTM Lissue for sourceless iframe local references<br>
&lt;trackbot> Created ACTION-3871 - File an htm lissue for sourceless iframe local references [on Amelia Bellamy-Royds - due 2019-09-26].<br>
