I would argue that SVGs are a poor use case here (a better one being high-density JPGs such as those used by Retina displays). Specifically, there are two main reasons in favour of serving PNGs over SVGs: * Uniformity. Instead of having to optimise against many different browsers' implementations of SVG specifications, SVG users only have to optimise against one (rsvg). * SVG capability. Some browsers won't badly render SVG images, they'll just refuse to show them at all (this is a receding factor bbut obviousl one of historical importance). Bandwidth considerations come in a poor third (especially considering some PNGs are larger than their SVG equivalents). That said, it's interesting stuff, if incredibly bleeding-edge at the moment.
