I can imagine scenarios where this functionality would be useful. E.g. when editing a raster image (e.g. of a mainboard) and placing explnanations on it. You could then upload the new image as SVG with the original raster image embedded and only the arrows and explanations in SVG format. This would be much easier to translate into other languages than adding the explanations directly into the raster image.

I know it is generally bad form to have raster images embedded in SVGs, but is there actually some rule that says so? Is there a process for identifying them and removing them?
They're not rendered. Er? unless someone changed that.
Feh. Seems they are now. I guess as the result of some SVG upgrade. Embedding rasters defeats much of the the purpose of SVGs, perhaps we should be stripping these again.
