one should probably display the defined symbols.
e.g. the format of icon we currently use is like this:
<svg>
<symbol id="symbol-1">...</symbol>
<symbol id="symbol-2">...</symbol>
<symbol id="symbol-3">...</symbol>
<symbol id="symbol-4">...</symbol>
</svg>
we should probably have a list of defined symbols if the svg we're about to display is of this particular form...
