Well, you could use relative values (x='10%' for example) if you have an
applicable enclosing viewport. It's not what you're asking for since it's
not relative to its parent but to the viewport. A 'symbol' might be the
closest you get to the desired behaviour, short of calculating everything
in script.
This is what SVG 1.1 says:
"The following elements establish new viewports:
- The 'svg' element
- A 'symbol' element define new viewports whenever they are instanced by
a 'use' element.
- An 'image' element that references an SVG file will result in the
establishment of a temporary new viewport since the referenced resource by
definition will have an 'svg' element.
- A 'foreignObject' element creates a new viewport for rendering the
content that is within the element."
Hope it helps
