Comment:

 OK, this took a lot longer than expected, and developing the patch was
 somewhat painful. But Kathy and I now have something that is ready for
 other people to review:

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug12827-01&id=7dd093abb5c68728b5ba6c940cca224345d89f3e

 Please see the commit message for more details about the patch.
 We tested the new svg.inContent.enabled pref. on Linux, Windows, and Mac.
