| This has come up before. What you want to use is the <object> element,
| which allows recursive description of 'fallbacks' to use (e.g.,
| Flash->img->text).
Or better:
SVG->IMG->Text
like this:
<object data="rect-fill.svg" type="image/svg" width="128" height="128">
<object data="rect-fill.png" type="image/png" width="128" height="128">
<p>Nice rectangle of blue color</p>
</object>
</object>
very good in terms of accessibility and to save bandwidth;
rect-fill.svg is included below (just 211 bytes!)
