[xmlroff] instream-foreign-object SVG?

[Julian R. <gn...@th...>]

Hi,

  What are your thoughts on supporting SVG instream-foreign-objects?  I have
been thinking that would be a cool longer-term goal, and an itch that I'd
eventually like to scratch.  I was doing a bit of reading - there's this
librsvg associated with GNOME which dumps GdkPixBufs; when I googled svg to
postscript, I found a discussion on an XSL-FO mailing list about the subject
which you were part of (you mentioned xslfo-proc -> now dandy - I couldn't
really tell what its deal is from its website) - but you guys seemed to be
saying "hmm that should be pretty easy but is there such a tool?" or "maybe
people will start using SVG as a page description language instead of PS or
PDF".
  I'm sure you have ideas about the subject - what are they?  I'm not trying
to jump into a huge undertaking after just submitting a couple patches - just
getting excited about a possible longer term goal.  Would an SVG "rendering"
library on top of gnome-print make any sense?  BTW I still have little to no
idea what I'm talking about regarding most of these things - so feel free to
tell me I'm being stupid.

  Thanks,
   Julian
