Why can't I resize SVG images in Books app on iPhone?

I upload an epub in iBooks with svg images and png images. A png image responds to a douple tap and opens in a separate window to allow me to adjust its size. An SVG image does not. I have to write an <a> tag to make it work.

Putting an a tag around the Img tag works in Books but fails in other readers. I conclude that the books app has no support for svg. Hopefully this will change in the future.

To ask Apple to add the feature you want, you can use
