Treating svg icons in widgets in the same mode as <img> pointing to SVG

So in essence you would tell the SVG engine to rasterize the vector image in
whatever size is suitable for the widget engine?

Not necessarily, no.  Of course the rasterization happens at some point, 
since the display medium typically works with discrete pixels, but it 
could well be happening at the hardware layer.

(And if there is any
animation, just use the first rendered frame.)

Declarative animation would be allowed.

If so, the widget engine
needs to pass an icon size in pixels to the SVG engine

It needs to do so anyway, no?

No idea on your question about conflicts of width/height; I'm not that 
familiar with the relevant part of the widgets spec.
