[tw] Re: embedding an *.svg file ...

You can load a svg file in FF, but that's not the same as embedding.
The industry hasn't standardized on one way to emplace SVG images.
Some folks use the embed tag, others use the object tag. I've noticed
that wikipedia apparently converts SVG files to PNG on the fly.  Even
firefox won't let you (yet) use the <img> tag to embed SVG images, so
its understandable that TW doesn't use the comparable [img] syntax
either.

In TW on firefox, you can use the <html> and  <embed> tags to place an
image:

<html>
<embed src="SVG.svg" width="350" height="350"
type="image/svg+xml"
 />
</html>

However, embed is not an official part of the HTML spec. There is also
a similar syntax using the object tag, but I wasn't able to get that
to work in my quick test.
