I think sending embedded SVG directly to clients is a *must*. There could be a
quick check for a compatible browser and if the user is using an old browser,
OK, fallback to a rasterised PNG. If you want this behavior could be enabled in
the user preferences panel (I would personally enable it by default but...).
BTW, wikipedia contains lots of SVGs, and when diagrams are uploaded as PNG (or
worse JPEG) they insert a warning "This image should be recreated using vector
graphics as an SVG file" (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:OO-historie.jpg). Why do they do that if
after all they're sending clients only pixels, pixels and more pixels?
The reason for SVG is not only size (which may sometimes be big), it is its
vector nature (vs raster). You can print in high quality, you can zoom in the
page with Ctrl+Wheel and its always smooth. And also, client rendering can be
better than the generated PNGs: see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singleton_pattern for example: the one generated
is wrong while FF and Chrome display fine.
