<!-- This SVG file uses itself as an image. Currently, we don't paint recursively-referenced images beyond the first level. When this testcase is viewed directly, it gets treated as a document (not an image), so its <image> element is painted. However, the <image>'s own *internal* <image> element does *not* get painted. So we end up painting two blue circles: one for the <circle> and one for the <image>'s <circle> (and no more). --> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="100" height="100"> <circle cx="10" cy="10" r="10" fill="blue"/> <image x="20" y="20" width="100" height="100" xlink:href="svg-image-recursive-1a.svg"/> <!-- my own filename --> </svg>
