I am currently working on a project to incorporate one-way constraints into SVG, in particular, into Batik. You can have a read about the project here: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~clm/csvg/ One of the aims of the project is to be able to embed complex layout logic inside the document itself, by having attributes be evaluated expressions. One way constraints are probably not good enough for your iterative methods, but the project may be of interest to you anyway. The project isn't nearly complete yet, and probably won't be for a good few months. Of course, though, writing a program which used Batik to display an SVG document tree that you generated would work quite well.
