Hello!
I noticed that some developers use this structure for SVG icons:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon  icon_mail">
    <use xlink:href="#mail"></use>
    <rect height="100%" width="100%" style="fill: transparent;"></rect>
</svg>

Why is rect here? Intuition suggests that for correct scaling. But is it?
