Re: [svgwg] 'image' element not defined to fire 'load' event when load happens (#361)

The SVG Working Group just discussed `'image' element not defined to fire 'load' event when load happens`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;myles> Topic: 'image' element not defined to fire 'load' event when load happens<br>
&lt;myles> GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/361<br>
&lt;myles> krit: David worked on this before.<br>
&lt;myles> krit: Ideally, this should just reference HTML stuff. The question is, "fire a load event" is not specified at all. But I'm pretty sure this is supported in WebKit.<br>
&lt;myles> krit: Don't we need to at least say that the load event should fire or must fire when the image is loaded, and reference HTML to describe how that happens?<br>
&lt;myles> AmeliaBR: SVG 1 had its own special load event, which fired on every element in its subtree, so there wasn't a need for a special description about image. We removed that and replaced it with the general DOM load events, and maybe when those changes happened, people didn't realize that extra text was needed about specific elements. Generally I support the idea of being consistent with HTML image behavior and referencing the HTML spec as much as possible<br>
&lt;myles> krit: Let's make a resolution: Fire the load event when the image was loaded, and reference the HTML specificaiton.<br>
&lt;myles> AmeliaBR: Has someone done testing on whether browsers do it already?<br>
&lt;myles> krit: There is no test on the issue yet.<br>
&lt;myles> krit: But you're right we should test.<br>
&lt;myles> krit: Who can do testing?<br>
&lt;myles> krit: ericwilligers, can you do it?<br>
&lt;myles> ericwilligers: &lt;silence><br>
&lt;myles> ericwilligers: no.<br>
&lt;myles> krit: I can do it.<br>
&lt;myles> krit: maybe next year.<br>
&lt;myles> AmeliaBR: Do we want to make a conditional resolution to add spec text if there is interop?<br>
&lt;myles> krit: yes.<br>
&lt;myles> s/yes/let's wait for the testing/<br>
&lt;myles> AmeliaBR: We'll come back to the issue once we have data.<br>
