good. As I said I would like to have proper viewBox support in 
authoring tools as well. I have not much hope for Adobe, but other, 
more open tools, like Inkscape should really support this.

I would also look into Postgis. Bruce Rindahl and I both use Postgis 
with good results. It also has a Simplify() function on the database 
level. The combination of Postgis/Batik/SVG is quite powerful.
