[tei-council] links into images

[Lou Burnard]

Is anyone going to answer my question?

Here it is again: How do I do that in SVG (or anything else they'd care 
to recommend)

I'd like to edit the text of this chapter to demonstrate how this 
example works in whatever or whatevers. I don't like leaving an example 
which recommends something we know is broken.
