Hi Oliver, 

 Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the 'background' raster image does indeed need to be part of the SVG. The entire SVG does not usually show; it is masked by the bounds of its container. The user needs to be able to drag around the SVG (background image and vector objects together) to see different parts of it, and also must be able to scale the whole thing to zoom in and out of the map. I don't think it would be possible or practical detach the elements.

 A workaround maybe:
 

 Does the background image need  to be part of the SVG? Could the SVG be transparent and the image be applied with CSS to a HYML element?
