[ubuntu-art] SVG engine

[Ken Vermette]

What Emrah Ünal is getting at, is that while most engines support the SVG
format, they can't yet make full use of them. It's like buying a
high-definition DVD player (or blu-ray, whatever) and watching it on a
regular TV - you have the potential, but you can't use it.

Specifically how it works, is the engine takes your SVG, renders it once at
a 1:1 scale, and then uses the render to save processing power.

I support SVG graphics because down the road engines will probably improve
in this area with  the advent of high-definition monitors. It's all still
very new, so it will take some time for resolution-independence to be built
into an engine - and take even longer for it to run efficiently...
