           Summary: When using SVG as an image, we should allow datauri
                    images
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: SVG
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Consider an html page with:
<img src="leaves.svg"></img>

where leaves.svg is:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <image x="20" y="20" width="30px" height="30px" xlink:href="data:image/png;base64,[a bunch of base64 data here]"/>
</svg>

We currently do not support this (likely for security reasons for linking to external files from the embedded SVG) but we should support this usecase.
