Re: SVG in HTML

We discussed on IRC to apply a transform="scale(x,y)" to the svg to get
it to display at the proper size in a browser.

However, browsers also totally ignore any scaling transformation.

At this point, the only way I see we can use to export properly sized
images is:

1. by rasterizing them to PNG.

2. by using the previously mentioned hack, which is a total pain to use:

Unless someone else has a working solution on sizing SVGs, I'm really
tempted to go for 1.
