I love the absurd verbosity of that reference svg:
User: Hello, browser, I'd like to create an svg object.
Browser: Now, hold on just one second. Is this the zeroth time you'd like to instantiate a custom xml object that you decided to name with the three letters 's', 'v', and 'g'? Or is this the 8,387,245,123rd time you'd like to instantiate a scalable vector graphics object?
User: sigh
Browser: OMG guess what? Thanks to the magic of universal resource locators and XML namespaces, I am able to parse the answer directly from the image data you sent me! Lemme check. Yup! The image itself holds the answer! Aren't computers fascinating?
User: sigh
Browser: Now I can state unambiguously that this is indeed the 8,387,245,123rd you want me to display an svg image in a web page. Glad we got that resolved!
User: click
Browser: Oops, relayout means you ended up clicking on an ad. Sorry, no takebacks.
