is there, or more properly does the spec 'mandate', any way to get a
similar behaviour in pure SVG?

ie so that one can be sure that any SVG will fill, but not extend
beyond a common and predetermined width and height, using image or use.

Jonathan,

This is great news - I had no idea. This means that the large volume
of art on places like openclipart.org are going to be much more
directly usable for web page art in the future (if Opera and Safari
clean this up).

At the moment, I have to tidy up clip art by removing the width/height
attributes on the <svg> element and adding a viewBox. With the proper
overriding, this would no longer be necessary.

Thanks,
Jeff
