"The 'image' element indicates that the contents of a complete file are to be rendered into a given rectangle within the current user coordinate system. The 'image' element can refer to raster image files such as PNG or JPEG or to files with MIME type of "image/svg+xml". Conforming SVG viewers need to support at least PNG, JPEG and SVG format files.

[…]

The resource referenced by the 'image' element represents a separate document which generates its own parse tree and document object model (if the resource is XML). Thus, there is no inheritance of properties into the image."
