this is really wonderful news!

Some questions regarding C: 
When using an image as a button icon, the size of the image in button = size of 
the image with that ID.
Will this behaviour be the same with SVG "icons"? Or will we be able to display 
the same SVG in different 
buttons at different sizes? Know what I mean?

If that is possible, then we would need another property for buttons (or the 
SVGs?) to be able to scale the 
icon inside of the button. Something to consider, I think. :-)


Best

Klaus
