Did some testing:

   http://people.mozilla.org/~cmccormack/tests/svg-content-document.html

and consistently across Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari and Opera, both 
contentDocument and getSVGDocument work on <object> and <iframe>, and 
for <embed> only getSVGDocument exists.  In line with what Erik said.

My impression previously was that getSVGDocument wasn't implemented as 
widely as it seems it is.
