Hi Marjn, So, this turned out to be less straightforward than I was expecting. Basically, I know of two ways to embed external SVG content inside an SVG document: using the "image" element, and using the "use" element. Unfortunately, Gecko, including Firefox 3.6 and 4b6, seems to not support using image with external SVG resources; however, it does work with the use element. On the other hand, there has been a longstanding webkit bug[0] that has prevented the use element from linking to external resources; but, webkit does support using image with external resources. So, in order to make this work across browsers, some work is required:
http://live.echo-flow.com/stackoverflow/www.vanvanvans.com/test/embed.svg The shapes in the middle should now load everywhere. I added an extra column of shapes on the far right: the star should load everywhere expect Webkit browsers, and the circle should load everywhere but Firefox. I think the markup I use to make this work is pretty evil, and it might just be better to duplicate each image element. If anyone has any suggestions for improvements, I'd like to hear it.
