[OT and unrelated but it struck me, so I thought I'd share:
if you visit http://dir.gmane.org/index.php?prefix=gmane.emacs
you will see (well, you are probably going to see something larger
than this when you visit):

100093	gmane.emacs.orgmode	Org-Mode for GNU Emacs

That's the fourth largest number of messages among emacs-related lists,
after emacs.devel, emacs.diffs and emacs.help and is somewhat bigger
than emacs.bugs.]

I believe I was the instigator for this change: see the thread at

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/80668

I had my own "horrible" bug that I was trying to work around and the
research I did at the time pointed towards <object> as the right way to
go, but I was (and still am) no expert on the subject. Rick Frankel
pushed a change to that effect in

commit e955be903a5cf29f173972ab18f851f8553ddd89

    Add better svg support to html exporter.
    
    * lisp/ox-html.el (org-html--format-image): If image is an svg file,
      format as "object" using new function `org-html--svg-image' instead
      of "img".
