Re: External references: how to handle 404?

That's the quote on what to do if the document is in error.  I'm not 
touching that part of the code; the document will just be in error if 
the referenced element doesn't exist, and we'll do whatever we do for 
local references in that case.

The real question here is this: if an SVG element references 
http://example.com/example.svg#foo and the returned HTTP response is a 
404 with Content-Type image/svg+xml that contains an element with 
id="foo", should that element be used, or should we pretend that we got 
no document back at all?

Robert suggests the latter, and I'm leaning that way too, but that's not 
obvious per the spec.  For example, a local reference to #foo inside the 
404 document should clearly work, right?
