Correct me if I'm wrong, but that spec doesn't (yet?) cover sizing issues
(though it does specify other important things like Referencing Modes.

For sizing, it seems there are a lot of things to consider:

- containing object's explicit/implicit size
- <svg>'s size (fixed, percentage)
- viewBox
- preserveAspectRatio

I think the behavior might be specified across the CSS, HTML, SVG 1.1 specs,
but it's really not 100% clear to me.  That's why I made that grid of 16
tests testing 3 dimensions (referencing element type, svg width/height,
viewBox).  Note that there are other dimensions to the test that I didn't
bother with (ones where <img> and <object> don't have specified sizes,
preserveAspectRatio=none).

Maybe this is something that was covered clearly in the WICD/CDF specs?
