Explainer https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/main/SVG/allow-use-to-reference-entire-files.md Specification https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/struct.html#UseElement Summary In this feature, we are streamlining the SVG <use> element by loosening referencing requirements. Currently, authors need to explicitly reference fragments within the SVG document. If no fragment id is given <use> will not be able to resolve the target and nothing will be rendered/referred. For example: a <use> element referencing an external file with fragment identifier will look like: <svg> <use xlink:href="myshape.svg#icon"></use> </svg> In this example, #icon is the fragment identifier pointing to an element with id="icon" within myshape.svg. and without fragment identifier it will look like: <svg> <use xlink:href="myshape.svg"></use> </svg> With this feature, omitting fragments or just giving the external svg file name will automatically reference the root element, eliminating the need for authors to alter the referenced document just to assign an ID to the root. This enhancement simplifies this manual editing process and improves efficiency.
