 * I have a data url that is url encoded, and for some reason when I turn FVM on,
   it changes the code to have a duplicated http in front of it.
 * Here’s part of the original:
 * %22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A//www.w3.org/2000/svg
 * And here’s what it turned into after I enable FVM:
 * %22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3Ahttp://www.w3.org/2000/svg

 * HI,
 * I think that happens because you are urlencoding the `http://` part… from what
   I saw at the specification, it should not be urlencoded.
 * FVM is just adding the correct `http://` between `http%3A` and `www.w3.org/2000/
   svg` so you need to not urlencode the xml properties… those are not real urls.
 * Also, you probably don’t know, but you should not convert svg to inline data,
   if possible: [https://css-tricks.com/probably-dont-base64-svg/](https://css-tricks.com/probably-dont-base64-svg/)

 * That’s just a blog post with someone’s opinion on something that doesn’t fit 
   my use case. I can write a blog too saying the opposite.
 * Anyway, possible to look into the issue?
