Summary	0002898: Linked stylesheet combined with non-text in inline SVG stylesheet causes page to load indefinitely
Description	Netsurf sometimes loads a page for a long time without displaying it when: 1. A linked stylesheet is present and would apply to the page (current media type applies, etc.). It is irrelevant whether the linked stylesheet exists. 2. An inline stylesheet in an <svg> element is present and would apply to the page. 3. The SVG's inline stylesheet contains non-text (elements, comments, or CDATA blocks).
Steps To Reproduce	Create a file with the following contents: <link rel=stylesheet href=style.css> <svg><style><!-- --></style></svg> loaded Open it in Netsurf. If it loads without problem, clear the cache and open it again. Sometimes, it will keep loading indefinitely.
