I can look into it, but it would be useful to know how many of these you 
find, so that I can tell how big the problem is before I bring it to 
their attention.

Right now you might not render the textures. But the SVG can be 
downloaded directly, and the browser will render the texture.

I wouldn't recommend banning paint textures (rather than images) in 
SVGs. If you don't use them, you're limited to plastic surfaces.

    Thanks
