title: Syntax for SVG <image> element using a local resource
body: <p>Is there a difference in the syntax when using the SVG-image-element with a local source (e.g. <code>C:\image.png</code>) and a source on the internet (e.g <code>http://www.google.de/intl/de_ALL/images/logos/images_logo_lg.gif</code>)?</p>
  
  <p>My Problem is that the following works:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;image x="100" y="100" width="100" height="100" xlink:href="http://www.google.de/intl/de_ALL/images/logos/images_logo_lg.gif"&gt;
  &lt;/image&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and with the following, i'm just getting a white page:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;image x="100" y="100" width="100" height="100" href="C:\google.png"&gt;&lt;/image&gt;
  </code></pre>
