While I like the idea (vectors are good), there is one more con: 
Specific theme implementations will never look anything like what 
they're trying to mimic.

Try drawing the Win32 radio button with SVG. You can get it in the 
right ball park, but it won't be the same. Which means the theme will 
always feel out-of-place to a user.

There was talk once of a default XWT theme. I would propose that when 
this theme is written, it should be done in SVG.
