One argument against that Thomas.
The partially sighted SVG user.
    Can't hack anything less than 16/18/22 point.
    Accepts that with his/her vision she'll have to pan a bit (OK a lot)
    but  sure as hell will throw away the SVG if given 10 point.

Accept that if you want the information conveyed,
some aspects may be screwed from your perspective.

I'd guess you'd want to get the information over more
than you'd want it looking pretty?
