The <object> mark-up works perfectly with Firefox and Opera; with Safari
and Chrome the SVG is rendered perfectly but the SVG boxes appear
incapable of inheriting the background colour/image from the parent box.
I am not a web developer, so I probably need to have a bit more of a
play with the CSS to fix this; it already been a pain in the ass getting
IE6, IE7 and IE8 to do something sensible.
