Re: [w3c/webcomponents] [Shadow] How should various document internal references work when SVG is being used in shadow DOM (bugzilla: 27380) (#179)

@annevk The base Url problematic with svg:use is a huge annoyance for devs in browsers other than Chrome (see https://gist.github.com/leonderijke/c5cf7c5b2e424c0061d2 and http://kb.yworks.com/article/706/ among others): In those UAs it does *not* resolve and thus breaks otherwise "self-contained" svgs. In Chrome, though the base URL is currently ignored at least for the svg:use use-case.

That behavior is so annoying (you need to replace all fragment urls with absolute urls which then again would not work inside shadow doms) - for me that alone would be a reason to adjust the spec.
