Thanks for the swift reply Holger! I like the idea of the Symbol tag.
I don't have enough complete at the moment to demonstrate my plan with an example, but I've created this graphic. I hope it explains my question a bit better. http://www.godice.com/resize_percent_points.jpg Using a percentage means that the gap aroudn the edges will change in 'thickness'. I guess a fixed padding-value is what I'm looking for.. I just don't know how to express that in SVG.
