Is there a reason SvgDocument.Open(XmlReader) is not exposed?

SvgDocument.Open only accepts a string, Stream or XmlDocument, but there is no public overload for reading out of a generic XML, which should be done via XmlReader. It seems the overload is there, but it is not public. Is there a reason for it, or could it be exposed?

This would make reading SVG files from other sources much easier. The data could be produced from a text stream or from a possible serialization of the XML infoset other than the standard one, from XDocument, XElement (and XmlElement as well) or XPathNavigator, all without having to store the whole document in memory at once. Additionally a custom entity resolver could be used as well.

I created PR #897.

• Wrap XmlReader for supporting XXE Mitigation.
• Open with entities cannot be provided.

Yes, but the issue is about this method:

private static T Open<T>(XmlReader reader) where T : SvgDocument, new()
