[whatwg] Load SVG via IMG element

My understanding is that SVG should not be scaled to fit given dimensions
because scaling information is provided in the SVG itself. I don't know
about the full status of SVG in browsers, but I know that Firefox supports
some, and the Adobe plug-in is common. A full test suite is available at
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/
A specification for embedding SVG in XHTML can be found at
http://www.w3.org/TR/XHTMLplusMathMLplusSVG/
and Mozilla provides some documentation at
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/SVG_In_HTML_Introduction
