I'm not sure about setting partial here. What is the impact of using the non-standard SVGLoad event?

The spec mentions:

In previous SVG specifications the load event was called SVGLoad and could be dispatched immediately after parsing an element but before the related resource(s) were fully loaded.

I could therefore imagine that Chrome and Safari also used this deprecated (?!) SVGLoad event.

Looking at the spec, I'm not seeing anything that stands out as notable about the SVGLoad event from a web developer perspective. Perhaps a note isn't even needed!

Based on that paragraph and the load event description:

The load event is dispatched only to structurally external elements and to the Window, when the corresponding external resources have finished loading.

We could have a subfeature "Dispatches after external resources are loaded".

@queengooborg What do you think?

PS: I think the alternative_name is correct, as you need to do svg.addEventListener("SVGLoad", listener), see: https://github.com/search?q=%2FaddEventListener%5C%28%5B%22%27%5DSVGLoad%5B%22%27%5D%2F&type=code
