Please try not to file anonymous requests. instead please
get an account and login so we can ask for follow up
information if necessary.

Please also try checking through existing request to avoid
filing duplicate reports. Similar reports may already
exist. As part of SVG compliance I would expect this sort
of linking support to be implemented eventually, you may
want to check and see if it is already on the roadmap
somwhere.
