The xml:base is what resets the relative path for image lookups. The image is relative to "/howl/" and the SVG is located in "/howl/svg/ id" Removing the xml:base would indeed result in only one GET request, but it would be the incorrect one. I could accomplish the same thing by changing the image to "../../file/id/532" but I don't want to do that :)
