I Agree. I arrived at the same conclusion. But I kind of refuse to
believe this is a bug. Maybe one of the fathers of ASV would be able
to shed some light over this?

I was considering this option, although the project was born as
standalone svg. I might have to resign to it or else wait for DOM3
load and save, but then it still wouldn't make sense if MS don't
implement (déjà vu) and so long as we can't fix ASV :(

I agree again. Catch 22.
