I don't think this works in FF and Opera either.

It seems to load now, but with a wrong scale.
(In reply to comment #0) > I don't think this works in FF and Opera either. Intentionally so. In Firefox images must be self contained so <image> elements within SVGImage documents would need to be data URLs. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=628747
Worth noting that WebKit does not work with data URLs or linked images. IE9+ and Firefox both work with data URLs and even IE9+ supports linked images.
Christian Schaefer was nice enough to point out that it does in fact work with Inline SVG. https://twitter.com/derSchepp/status/301099502624989184
Images are not allowed to load further resources. This is intentionally.
