The ability to use external references is actually a primary use case for the
<use> element, and is very important to SVG's usability.  With external
references, gradients and other paint servers, filters, and symbols can be
stored in a "library" of resources, and easily reused.

This functionality works in Firefox 3.5 and Opera, and should be supported in
WebKit.  If there are concerns about security issues, a sensible restriction
would be to allow only same-domain resources to be referenced.

If there is anything the SVG WG can do to clarify the specification, improve
tests, or help coordinate between implementers to ensure interoperability of
this feature, please send an email to www-svg at w3.org.  We'll be happy to help.
