Description
Because models loaded through a tag behave a lot like an image that has an <svg> source, the same limitations must apply.
See the SVG integration spec on what things are allowed and forbidden in such a context.
Basically, we don't want to load external resources because they allow ping backs to the creator of the model.
Maybe we relax access to interactivity if CORS is enabled.

Research direction
Start with the linked SVG integration spec and compare its secure animated mode with the model element's external-resource behavior. Clarify which resources and interactivity must be restricted, including the unresolved CORS question; done means the model element follows the agreed restrictions and no longer permits unintended external loads.
