Wouldn't it make more sense to support passing an <svg> node to drawImage?

Opera supports that, FWIW.
Comment 3 Boris Zbarsky 2011-01-20 15:13:45 UTC 
So does Gecko.
Comment 4 Ms2ger 2011-01-20 18:51:54 UTC 
Time to spec it?
Comment 5 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-02-11 01:30:12 UTC 
What are the intrinsic dimensions of an <svg> node? What should it render, exactly? e.g. what time should it use for animations, should filters that are based on content outside the <svg> be recomputed, should any scripts or events run?
