David,

A major problem with SVG output as default is that for image-type plots 
(e.g., pcolormesh) it yields enormous output that is very slow to 
render.  The advantage of png is that although it is not optimal from a 
visual standpoint, it works reliably and predictably with everything. 
Therefore it is a sensible default.
