Being an artist that actually produces icons, you'r never of topic. But may be 
it is a good idea to rename the subject, like in "What is the best tool for 
making svg icons?" This way there is less change your mail gets lost in wierd 
discussions :-)

svg is new, and good implementations are not written yet, i understand. Use 
the tool you have, like, like sodipodi, and keep what you do simple. I like 
the design principle 'KISS' (keep it simple, stupid). It gives better results 
and in a situation like this, evolving tools, the biggest change to produce 
files that will stand the changing times.

my 2 cents

Cordialemente,

Ante
