    My intent here, before life got in the way, was to store the original
    SVG, compressed and base-64-encoded, in a CDATA block (like PNG).
    Although it is possible to store the SVG in a namespace, it can result
    in a massive size increase of some SVG images as many XML optimizations
    get lost during parsing. From a code perspective, also, it's neater to
    be able to keep SVG parsing/rendering code entirely separate from the
    AWML parser.
