Re: Resolving IRIs for resource documents in SVG Tiny 1.2

This is now changed to use the absolute IRI for the dictionary keys
without looking at the HTTP response.  I’ve made it use a plain,
character-by-character comparison for simplicity, but I’d welcome any
input on whether any canonicalisation of the IRI should be performed
before comparison.
