The problem is that HTML images have a way of specifying intrinsic width outside 
of the markup (it's in the image data).  For SVG, it seems that the way you 
specify intrinsic width is via the width/height attributes on the <svg> element.

I think we agree that for SVG included via say <xhtml:object> the width/height 
attributes give the intrinsic size...  It would make a lot of sense to me as an 
author if I could get a similar behavior when including SVG inline, somehow.  At 
the moment, I don't see how -- if we make width/height affect the computed style 
as presentational attributes in this case, there is no way to set the intrinsic 
size.
