Even if we *can* serve SVG directly to browsers, current usage of SVG images is
frequently sub-ideal for this.

I did a little research on this a couple years back and found that many SVGs
used in articles are things like maps that contain WAAAAY more detail than they
need, and would be much slower to transfer and render client-side than the
bitmaps.

So either we need to start tracking down and cleaning up those giant SVG maps,
or we gotta keep a server-side renderer around for some time. :(
