Consider the following markup (assuming that the "svg" and "xlink" namespace
prefixes are bound to the relevant namespaces):
<svg:image xlink:href="something.png" xlink:show="replace"
xlink:actuate="onload"/>
It would seem to me that correct behavior here for a UA that supports both SVG
and XLink would be to replace the page with something.png when this is parsed
(as required by the XLink specification), while the correct behavior for a UA
that supports SVG but not XLink would be to do whatever the description of
<svg:image> says. Is that correct?
Note that I don't think the spec needs changes in this regard, since the XLink
specification is very clear on what the behavior should be in this case. But I
just want to make sure that there are no assumptions that the XLink description
of what should happen is obviated by the fact that SVG describes additional
semantics for <svg:image>.
