<pre>Correct SVG href should not be a data url. But if this happens we should not assert. This assertion was added by <a href="https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/183053">https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/183053</a>. The changeLog does not describe why this assertion was added. But I think it was added because the assumption was the mask data URI was handled by the CSS parser and SVGURIReference should not be receiving a data URI which might correct for masks. But it is not the case for the SVG href itself which can be a data uri for incorrect SVG documents.
So I think this assertion is not correct and should be removed.</pre>
