I spent a long time debugging inline svg use elements not showing up. The chrome bug discussed by BobW seems fixed at this time. To eliminate the same issue caused by something else entirely, try commenting out the tag from your HTML.

Of course, this will likely break every relative link on your site, but the elements now show up. One step forward, half a step back :)
