I was trying to think wider than just SVG and 3.4, what level of
plug-in/non "standard" equipment[1] is an author allowed to use to fulfil
a requirement, users should go some way (and most do of course), so is it
okay to require a plug-in?  and if so, any plug-in, free plug-ins only,
free but on restricted platform/O/S? - What is reasonable?  - I'm not
sure.  I think users have to have some responsibility, and if they can
install a plug-in at low cost, then that should be an ok (minimum you can
do), but not recommended way of fulfilling the requirement.
