SVG images inside SVG files (<image/> element) seem only to work if the URL of the external image is from the same domain as the original SVG file.

However, files from other domains should work as well.

Thank you for having a look at this bug!

This seems like overzelous security.  We should allow loading of .svg files from other domains when they are used as images.

This seems to work nowadays, so we can probably close this bug?
Cheers,
