Summary0002898: Linked stylesheet combined with non-text in inline SVG stylesheet causes page to load indefinitely
DescriptionNetsurf 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 ReproduceCreate 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.
