Thanks, but that misses the whole point.  The lovely thing is that I can 
count on my raster images coming in at the right size in the right place 
no matter what their original size and without nagging the author of 
them.  I may very well have no control over the referenced SVG, and 
maybe nobody can easily modify it for that matter.  Sure we can make it 
work if I modify the referenced SVG, but again, isn't the whole point 
that they're supposed to be scalable and fit in where they are supposed 
to *without* having to change them?  I don't have to change PNG images.
