Summary embeded svg link target of _self does not work 'correctly'

A svg:a link with a target of '_self' (the default) from a svg document inserted in a html document with the <embed> tag will replace only the screen space occupied by the <embed> tag rather than the entire html window. Other svg browsers (IE+Adobe, Nokia Open Source browser) will replace the entire html document with the document linked from the svg:a link.

I'm not convinced. I just tried this myself by making an html page which used <embed> to embed another html page and an svg page. It turns out Firefox does not support using <embed> to embed an html page, so I moved to <object> for firefox compatibility. Regardless, the results were that the links inside both the html and svg emebeded pages *only* changed the embeded portion and not the whole page. I think you're thinking of _parent or _top as targets. I don't think this is a real bug. Please comment (and reopen) if you feel otherwise.

Fair enough, it is not a 'real' bug as the 'correct' operation is unspecified. It would be nice if every browser worked the same (utopia ;-) ) but I found a way around the problem anyway, so leave it closed.
