Re: SVG Text elements within glyphs

Actually, 'font-family' seems to fit the intent of "external references" in the document SVG Integration (https://svgwg.org/specs/integration/#definitions), though not explicitly mentioned in the list of examples.

Whether the external font file is "link[ed] to" with an explicit data URI or an OS font family name (or one of the generic family names e.g. serif, for that matter) shouldn't make a difference, right? It's still an external blob that's "render[ed] or process[ed] in the context of the current file [the SVG doc of the SVG-in-OT font]," and should thus be verboten (quotes are from the above link).
