Try to find a simpler SVG OBJECT syntax

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Right now the SVG OBJECT syntax is a bit complex to aid IE; I think it
might be possible to have a simpler syntax using a dangling semicolon on
the @type attribute that I saw on an old post focused around the IE/Eolas
issue:

<object type="image/svg+xml;" data="foobar.svg"></object>

Evidently the dangling semicolon trick works on other browsers and is
ignored. Do some QA and testing around this to see if it actually works, or
perhaps try some other variations. This will happen once we are on trunk.

I spent a bunch of time on this over the weekend and was unable to get the 
dangling
semicolon trick to work. I also tried a bunch of other styles but they didn't 
work.
Tabling again for now.

I haven't tested for sure but there's a known trick [1], which involves using 
embed
parameters in object tags, which might help. Basically, it takes advantage of 
IE's
embed/object implementation, which seems to be quite the same (apart from the 
markup
syntax differences, of course). The link [1] has already been referred a few 
times in
SVG Developers... ;-)

We should use a syntax similar to what @helder.magalhaes says, which is to do 
what Flash does and have an EMBED inside of an OBJECT.
