Re: inconsistency about preserveAspectRatio for <image> element

Hi Chris,

That revised text definitely clears up the inconsistency, and it looks
good to me.  Thanks!

P.S. (One extreme nit, unrelated to the inconsistency: it might help the
readability & improve grammatical correctness if a comma was added
immediately after
  "When an image element references an SVG image"
in the very first sentence.  That's very minor, though, and probably not
too important.)
