Description
Apparently the idea is that SVG's image element is supposed to be nearly identical to HTML's img element. It seems best that we simply define it inline then since it can then more easily share all infrastructure for the img element. We should probably also allow it to be used where img can be used today (but maybe not with picture as that would make things more complicated, not less).
#900 is a first step towards allowing SVG's image element to be used where HTML's img element is used.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #900, which this issue identifies as a first step. Then trace the HTML Standard definitions and usage rules for image, img, and picture; done means defining SVG's image inline with the shared img infrastructure and deciding where image is accepted without adding picture complexity.
