Disabled SVG should fall back to other image formats

At https://www.bamsoftware.com/papers/fronting/, the figures don't show up with the security slider on the "High" setting in Tor Browser 6.5a6. Instead, it just shows the alt text:

fig-fronting.png

The HTML is using the picture element to allow fallback from SVG to PNG:

<picture>
<source srcset=fronting.svg type="image/svg+xml">
<img src=fronting.png alt="A schematic diagram...">
</picture>

It would be nice if the way Tor Browser disabled SVG was compatible with this usage, to allow the browser to try PNG next.

On the other hand, I see the MDN page says these API are experimental, so go ahead and close this if it seems esoteric or unsupported.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
