I want to use image in a group definded in defs tag. But on Chrome nothing works. In Firefox only the .png file is displayd. Only Rectangle apears but with strange bug in Chrome. Is this is supported by SVG or im not using it right.

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"&gt;
<svg  baseProfile="full" width="500" height="500"
  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
  xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1">

 <defs>
  <g id="car">
   <rect x="0" y="0" width="30" height="30" fill="#ff0000" />
   <image xlink:href="items/car.svg" x="0" y="0" width="30" height="30" />
   <image xlink:href="items/t6k.png" x="100" y="100" width="140" height="140" />
  </g>
 </defs>

 <use xlink:href="#car" x="0" y="0" width="600" height="600" />

A: 

Looks like valid SVG 1.1 to me. I think Firefox doesn't yet support svg in the <image> element. My epiphany-webkit nightly seemed to render it fine though, and Opera too.

I can confirm that Firefox, including FF4b6, does not support svg in the image element.
