Comment (by iandunn):

 @otto42 reminded me that [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/SVG/Guides/SVG_as_an_image SVG's can't execute JavaScript when
 embedded using the <img> tag].

 So, that avoids any problems with displaying SVGs in the Media Library.
 We'd just want to add a comment in the code that it should never be
 changed to a different method (e.g., `<svg>`), to avoid a regression.
