Great!!

It should scale the svg as well. SVG images seem to behave differently
on different browsers. Can you point me to the image in question so I
can see what is going on?

You need to include the <<editFields>> macro in your edit template.
This will create an "add new field" in your edit template. Click it to
create a new row and on the left put server.content-type (the field
name) and on the right image/svg+xml
I use this method quite a lot... whether it's a hack or meant to do
that I'm not sure (maybe fnd can comment)

Exactly. Otherwise it has no idea your want it displayed as an image.
The system could guess here (ie. look for the svg tags) but this might
lead to weird unexpected consequences for the user so we left it as
being something you have to say explicility.

It's definitely possible. One could imagine getting the svg edit
application (the one used in alex's space) [1] to work as an edit
template (only for tiddlers with the server.content-type field set to
image/svg+xml and loading the existing svg file and then saving it
when finished. You would need to get this running on a tiddlyspace (I
had a go but it proved too problematic as there are lots of file
dependencies which have to have a certain namespace). I've been
meaning to make something basis for a while but just haven't had the
time :/

Good luck with the imaging!
