In my platform app, there are more :-) The SVG loading feature works and will 
be useful in the future.

API. Let me know what you have one. Don't forget NetBeans is supposed to be 
modular. Not by cluster, but by each module. Try to not over design, please.

Otherwise we end up with `SVGLoader` (plus enormous amount of currently useless 
Batik libraries) without any SVG icon to render[1]!

People say that it doesn't make sense to create an API unless there are at 
least three usages. I'd suggest to create hundred SVG icons first, render them 
and then, based on the experience, try to design some API.

I know redrawing icons is no fun, and creating fancy new ideas feel som much 
better. But, dear like to be architects, somebody has to do the real work!
