Your flame is absolutely unreasonable here.
I just expressed pure fact: KSVG can't handle SVG files I use for BlueSphere 
SVG icons.
Those files are *simple*, created in Sodipodi (which is Open-Source, BTW).
So, unlike some people who use CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator for creating 
SVG (both are closed-source, and those apps can't be enhanced/fixed by us), I 
try to follow "open" development process.
All Open-Source renderers fail to render COrel-generated SVG files, and many 
files generated by AI can't be handled, too.

Dom Lachowicz (current maintainer of librsvg2) was able most of bugs I 
reported to him(against librsvg-2.1.x) within a week.
It's up to you wether you want to fix bugs in KSVG or not.
And note: it's up to me, as SVG developer, to use KSVG or any other library.
Adding 'K' before SVG doesn't add more value to SVG renderer, IMHO.
SVG rendere/library either can handle valid XML (SVG+XML) or just *can't*.
Nothing personal here.
