Bug Description

You know how you can import a raster image into an SVG
using an <image /> tag, so why not be able to use
<image /> to import another SVG image into the one
you're working on without having to import all of the
code? The SVG 1.1 specification does support this,
AFAICT. I tried doing this, by adding the line below
into an SVG file open in Inkscape 0.44.1, but all I get
is the message "linked image not found".

<svg:image id="other svg" xlink:href="example.svg" />

I think this is already covered by the requests to add
linking xlink href support to Inkscape.

Please also try checking through existing request and see if
maybe you think this is a duplicate already covered by the
other reports.

This works with my Inkscape 0.45 actually.

either this maybe request can be closed or it needs to remain open until
the problem is completely fixed and this other request can be closed:
