[Bug 1444465] Re: Allow the skin class to use SVG image format

 

If we're going to handle SVG files in some places, we should probably
extend support to accept them everywhere that we accept images.

We need to keep in mind, though, that SVG files are XML files
underneath. So we'll need to take roughly the same security precautions
with them, as we do with user-uploaded XML files. See also

security-risks-with-svg-upload
