There may be confusion here about what "children" means here. During the 
meeting, Fred said that an <img src="svg"> does not produce DOM children 
of the <img> element.

To confirm, I tried the following with FF, Safari, and Chrome. and their 
respective DOM inspector tools. There is an <img> element in the DOM for 
each of the svg palm trees, but those <img> elements do not have DOM 
children.

Also, the HTML spec for the <img> elements states that it has an empty 
content model [1], making <img> a leaf node.
