While we're talking about SVGs, I'll note that our current handling of
the 'lang' property on image references is at odds with how HTML and
browsers implement it.  See
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58920 for more details.

We can't support 'lang' in SVG served directly to browsers/renderers
(which parsoid would like to do) directly until this issue is
addressed.

ps. WRT to bitmap embeds, I think the larger issue is whether images
on common are expected to be self-contained or not.  The current
infrastructure assumes that they are.  It might be worth thinking of
the 'big picture' and allowing a more general dependency mechanism --
if an SVG depends on a bitmap hosted on commons, then thumbnails of
that SVG should be invalidated/regenerated when the bitmap changes,
etc.
