Didn't realize that SVGs are just part of the DOM and can contain and run
arbitrary JavaScript. I was a huge fan of SVGs until now :-).

There is a formal profile for SVG-without-DOM-or-CSS-or-JS called "SVGTiny", which comes in 1.1 and 1.2 flavors (1.2 added a few features thatare still considered safe). If you want your graphical Gemini browser torender such images, outfit it with an SVG Tiny renderer. I don't know ofany fully conformant SVG Tiny 1.2 renderer at the moment, but svgirl claimsto convert any conformant input to a list of lines and curves to draw,which can then be passed to any graphics library for actual rendering.
