I agree with Niko. I think with batik (xml.apache.org/batik) we have an
example of
how to make an SVG framework. I also believe that initially only a partial
set of
the SVG functionality is sufficient, adding things like animation later. The
SVG dom
specifications are also pretty clear and should be followed IMHO. Finally I
think
SVG belongs in the xml/html corner, meaning kdelibs.

Greetings,
