there's an example in the section on isolation:
http://dev.w3.org/fxtf/compositing-1/#isolationblending
It is the circle that becomes the isolated group so if there's blending
inside the content that has the blend-mode, it will be isolated to that
content.

Can you post your example online (codepen, jsfiddle)?
There should be a difference since if you link them using <img>, the SVG
should be rasterized.
