Hmmm... this will happen with external PNGs as well. They are not uncommon.

There is no funding on rendering coming in, the few things I've done in the last months rendering related I've done in my spare time. The resolved styles (Style2D subclasses) should learn to deal with Icon instead of an image, a SVG Icon subclass should be generated and returned by the SVG renderer, and the StyledShapePainter should be modified to use it. And oh, since rendering SVG is quite slow, there should be a flag to decide whether to activate the above path, or keep the more efficient one we have now.
