I agree with the above, I want bug 231179 to be implemented, which is why I want this blocking bug also resolving. Like Chris Hubick, I would like to have svg as background images. Unlike Chris, I would also like to use svg for graphs etc. - however, for this purpose I find the object tag to be appropriate, using something like a table to represent results.

Therefore, I would be happy to drop this bug *IF* 231179 could be achieved a different way that did not require this.
