It is always tricky to properly scale the drawing on the page: although

it in an html document.
That's where postscript shines - you can rescale even for fleeting use,
then revert effortlessly. (Thus far I've only used one to three scales
per page in my drawings, applied cumulatively. From scratch might be
easier to understand and tweak later, though.)
Well, SVG has the same transformations as PS and they can be
applied cumulatively as well. Actually it seems to me SVG was largely
inspired by PS. I'm pretty sure SVG and PS can be converted to each
other without any loss of information, provided there is no
transparency. PS has no transparency, and transparency can only be
rendered during rasterization. But SVG images without transparency
should be transformable into PS and vice-versa with no loss. However the
only tools I found to translate SVG to PS are online on the web.
Gimp and Geequie render SVG pretty well, but they're bound to
rasterize it, and would produce a pixelized PS.
