I am also confused. The text in question states:

   *  SVGs must remain static after publication of the RFC, so there may
      be interactive, multimedia, or other elements that cannot be
      included in SVG diagrams.

The words that confuse me here is "remain static". Is this just saying that
SVGs in RFCs must be static? For instance, is it impermissible to have
SVGs cannot have responsive design features where they resize in response
to the size of the page? Or does it just mean you can't use JS to adjust
the
SVG, despite RFC 7992 S 2 (I see below that it says that SVGs must
not contain executable script, but you could have separate JS which
manipulated the SVG).

Separately:
   *  Authors may include multiple versions of images or diagrams in
      rfcxml.  Publication formats should present the version that is
      best suited to each format.  In many cases, that will be an SVG.

Would it be permissible to have multiple SVGs and dynamically choose
one using JS?
