In the simplistic example at http://www.dtmf.com/svgt/x.xml, there is an <svg>
image embedded inside a <div> which has its height and width set in terms of
"ems" rather than pixels.  The <svg> itself only specified a viewBox size.  The
purpose (which works) is that if you use shift+/shift- to scale the font size of
the web page, the image scales with the html text.

Inside this <svg> element, there is a <text> element.  So long as the browser is
set to "Normal" text size when the page is loaded, everything works fine.

However, if you scale the page larger or smaller, and then reload the page while
scaled, the contained <text> inside the <svg> is now scaled wrong (larger or
smaller than it should be relative to the rest of the <svg> image).  This
persists relatively as you continue to scale with shift+/shift- once it occurs.
 Resetting the browser text size to "Normal" and reloading again corrects it.
