 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:

 [[Image(fig-fronting.png)]]

 The HTML is using the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/picture 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.
