"Similarly as possible" would be exactly the same, i.e. bg.svg would
be displayed if it exists, otherwise the others are ignored.
That might be a good thing, because the bg.svg could have
multiple images overlayed in any way you want.
Here's downside:
1. I don't know off hand how you could get
DOM to interact with the image list if it were
within another SVG file, unless SVG could take
parameters (perhaps supplied as a suffix to the
url)
2. I don't know off hand how you could
get XSLT to do the same thing, unless that
problem were solved in a similar manner.
Perhaps the best thing to do here is move
this functionality to SVG and provide a means
of passing parameters to the SVG file like
fragment identifiers, etc.
