Comment 6 for bug 168261

Any disposition on this bug? It would definitely be an improvement to support
SVG wherever a raster image is allowed (<img> tag, background images, etc).
This could turn out to be a killer feature for a browser to have.

What makes this killer is if the image is a "live" SVG image
(though I will agree with Tim Rowley in Bug 272288, that it is ambiguous in the
SVG spec). Imagine being able to animate your background image while displaying
your HTML over top. Currently this is only possible with a compound XHTML
document or some form of foreignObject within a SVG root document.
