Re: DOM vs GVT tree info

Thanks Martin for your idea.
I don't think that's enough in my case.

What if the symbols were made up of multiple objects?
I want to be able to recognize later on after processing the GVT whether the
element was called through a <use> so as to keep the geometric
representation of the objects rather than just the raw data I would get
reading the DOM.
I would also use this information to re-write a manipulated result
containing the elements to a .svg similar to the input .svg.

I hope this helps,
Zainab
