Well the problem is that it is _really_ easy to generate an image
with more than 256 colors with SVG. Just anti-aliasing can introduce
lots of colors, add opacity and gradients and it's easy to go over 256
colors.
If someone wanted to contribute a good adaptive pallete generator,
and a good quantizer (minimum Floyd-Steinberg) it would I think be
gladly accepted. But there are already a number of special purpose
applications that will do a much better job of this than Batik
probably ever will. Note that most dithering algs do a really bad job
with line art.
