Alexey/Dan:
The SVG intrinsic size is already dependent on the host document - as explicitly specified in SVG and CSS 2.1. I fully agree, that its awkward that the font-size of an embedded SVG is dependent on the host document, but this is how its implicitly specified, and how it works in Opera/FF.

Of course, it's much easier for us, if we'd hard-code the default settings for the embedded SVG - I'm also not aware of any real world issue this would introduce, except compatibility.

If we want to ignore this specifically, we should get folks from Opera/FF on board, and fix it in all our implementations.

I'd propose we ignore the dynamic part of the font-size changes for now, and hardcode the default settings for SVGImage, for now.
