I realized there actually are ways (of course!) to make an SVG having no intrinsic dimensions but still scale to the destination: percentage based lengths. It's now (2) at: http://doomdavve.github.io/gists/svg-in-border-image-1.html Firefox especially shows the difference between (2) and (3). In (2) there is no intrinsic ratio, so the image is just scaled to the destination. In (3) there is and it leaves blank space instead. Can't say I think the result is any good though. Now, I'm leaning towards actually doing what the spec says and divide the border image area with slices and all and just assume the SVG can handle it. Because there is a possibility it may. Thoughts?
