Very cool...thanks. Performance wise, I do think that runtime bitmap
caching of rendered svg could address the issue fairly completely once
other things worked, since normally, widgets won't be resized or
transformed. Even slow SVG would be interestig to start experimenting
with this. Can you give a couple sentence summary of where SVG is at?
The "futured" bug that says that svg is incomplete doesn't provide
much info. ;-)
