[svgwg] Issue: <Image> auto-rotation due to 'Orientation' attribute in EXIF Data (#819) marked as Agenda+

== <Image> auto-rotation due to 'Orientation' attribute in EXIF Data ==
Problem : 
There's no attribute in SVG to control if the imported image be auto-rotated as per its EXIF data. I created a SVG which has an image embedded in it. When i open it in browser its orientation is Portrait, while in InkScape or OpenOffice Text the orientation automatically changes to Landscape.

I am not knowledgeable about the Specification as a whole. Hence would request someone to fill-up any gaps here.
