It is now possible to use SVG in PDF with dblatex > 0.3.2 (april 2011).
Inkscape is used as external tool to convert SVG into PDF.
For example, graphviz diagrams are converted into SVG, then inkscape is used
to convert the SVG files into PDF files, then the PDF files are integrated
as images into the PDF output by dblatex.
(This is part of imagedata.py, and not documented in the user manual yet)

It is working pretty well.
Thanks Fabrice, thats useful.
Pity its not documented :(
Wrt. SVG graphics, the ODF backend can support SVG graphics as well.
However asciidoc does not ship SVG graphics, nor is there an 'official'
backend attribute to enable SVG icons.
It could be useful to allow to ship icons as part of a theme, and have a
way to enable SVG icons for the backends that support it. If the default
asciidoc images would exist in SVG format, shipping those would improve
the output of the ODF backend (and converted formats like PDF).
That said, the encoding of embedded SVG seems to be different from other
embedded files. Need to figure out what LibreOffice is doing there.
