While no work is needed for that particular example, the CSS WG is 
working on a specification to allow the author to specify fallback 
values (such as a PNG), in case SVG is not supported as a 
background-image, or the file cannot be located.

Thanks, Thiago, for pushing the limits on what you can do in existing 
browsers, and Rob, for providing excellent SVG integration work in Gecko 
in general.
