Well, a few builtin apis are making sense due the fact that viewers 
may take advantage of the system. For example in Windows, the Timer 
API could be implemented on top of the Windows API timer that is 
fast and perfomant enough to have real time in SVG whereas a js 
library would first require to install/use it instead of simply 
accessing a builtin api and would be slower as well. Well that's 
just our experience when building a SVG Viewer.
