--- Comment #14 from Brion Vibber <[email protected]> ---
It might be time to start building an RfC for 'determine next stage(s) of SVG
handling'; it may be easier to track overall status on a wiki page.

Within Bugzilla we should do a couple things for sure:
* split out the "rsvg rendering" bugs from the fundamental bugs
* find the most important-looking remaining issues and see what we have to do
about them

A few forward-facing questions:
* should SVG source be editable on-wiki like a page? Or is it fine to stick
with the upload interface, knowing that editing widgets can piggyback on that?
(an editor widget could easily expose source, and use the upload interface to
save)
* what sort of processing support do we need in addition to serving files
direct, if any?
** compression?
** minimizing?
** language filtering?
** parsing links?
** injecting wikitext?
** LTR<->RTL flipping?
* what sort of editing tools do we need?
** specialized tools like chart generators/editors? How will we attach a 'type'
to the file?
** general vector editors like SVGEdit?
** how do we integrate these tools into VE?
** do we need both desktop and mobile UIs?
* if we serve SVGs directly to browsers in the future, do we need tools to
assist with file size?
** XML minimization?
** decimating extra digits on coordinates?
** decimating points in detailed paths?
* do we need/want animations support?
** is browser support for SMIL consistent, or do we need fallbacks?
** what about non-SVG browsers? fallback content, or generate something?
** what about printing mode? force fallback content, or?

Whew, that's enough crazy thoughts for now. :)
