Ok, I tried to implement this tonight by allowing all <svg> elements to use
layers.  I've since decided this was the wrong approach.  Why?  Well, the only
reason that an <svg> element would ever *need* a layer is for absolute
positioning in a compound document.  Using a layer at any other time is wrong,
because of double-opacity (which has already been hacked around), lack of
transforms, and improper clipping.

I've made some benificial adjustments to the code during this process, but I'm
now going to go back and only allow the outer-most <svg> elements to have a
layer, and only if they are absolutely positioned.
