SVG is NOT entirely a vector drawing program!! 1. You have gradients, clipping paths, patterns, and filtering, which interpolates between vector and raster data. You will not implement easily as an "artist" the blur, displacement maps, or morphologic filters 2. SMIL style animation needs a specific engine, this will not easily work on a back-end independent framework. == Usually I hate people who discourage others, or say that something cannot be done. But here, such a module would take too long to implement, and the gain seems not adequate. I would be VERY HAPPY, if I am wrong.
