Hello TJ

Svg support image definition like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" 
standalone="no" ?>
<image width="314" height="131" x="50" y="100" 
xlink:href="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAToAAACDCAIAAACSkkACAAAAB3RJTUUH0gsUEggc+PNHBAAAAAd0
 
RVh0QXV0aG9yAKmuzEgAAAAMdEVYdERlc2NyaXB0aW9uABMJISMAAAAKdEVYdENvcHlyaWdodACs 

...
I/l5XefzDm+WX9fqGa1Qmg/DEIZ1hTB014YU+E5Yax3V/dlsdn6e/nv+vsObua4V+uTDMITxD0vM 
thHiPWzHAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC " />
where the string is the base64 coded image.

What about storing such a string in your database? So you won't have to 
store you image on your webserver. But be careful about the storage 
volume of your database.

And you could also add the height and width of the image in the database...

But I don't know how to generate such a string. Many gurus may give you 
advices... :)

Hope it helps.
