How about a query _mode_.  That way inkscape load itself and the SVG 
only once, and the client can keep asking questions of it until it's 
finished?  Might be handy for other stuff later on too.

I have a good experience with DocBook/XML and XSLT for it, though I
never managed to get it working with SVG.

The source format does not matter much, as the source-to-SVG
stylesheet will be completely custom anyway. But DocBook is nice and
probably rich enough to cover our modest needs, and with it we'll be
able to use standard stylesheets for e.g. converting to HTML. So, let
it be DocBook (unless anyone has a better idea).

The only alternative to DocBook/XML in XML docs area is DocBook Lite
:) and IBM's TEI.
