ISSUE-2358 (nested links): Resolve how nested links in referenced SVG are resolved [SVG 2]
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2358
Raised by: Doug Schepers
On product: SVG 2
If an SVG document has one or more links, and is referenced from an HTML <object> or <img> which has a block-level link around it, which link is followed, the one in the HTML page, or the one in the SVG?
What if the links in the SVG are nested:
<a href="foo.svg">
<circle r="20" />
<a href="bar.svg">
<circle r="10" />
</a>
</a>
My intuition is that in both cases, the most closely scoped (innermost) link should be followed. Perhaps there should be a way to override an inner link, but I think that would be bad for security.
