Which is:

<svg ...>
  <style>
    ... extra styling here ...
  </style>
  <xi:include href="... original SVG encoded as a data: URL ..."/>
</svg>

That's an interesting approach.  As you say, it would probably solve
these problems, and my guess is that all the SVG libraries we support
would probably handle this construction fine.  The styling properties we
could inject here could be, for instance, a stroke colour that the same
as the foreground colour of the default face, and a background colour
that's the same as the background colour of the current buffer.
