        Great.

I just discovered that Apache OpenOffice now uses a new implementation 
to handle SVGs natively. Since there are a lot of bug reports in LO 
regarding broken SVGs I'd think using their code would be the best 
solution. What do you think?

        Sure - sounds reasonable; Armin's a sharp guy and does some great work;
IIRC the core code needed some improvements to make this work really
well.

        A couple of things need sorting out that will make this miss our 3.5
release: first the feature-freeze is ~today. Second - we need to get the
licensing situation sorted out; as/when Oracle have finally finished
re-licensing under AL2, and we have an MPLv2 out - we'll do the audit /
digging work to re-license our code-base MPL/LGPLv3+ (on top of AL2). At
that point we'll be able to cherry-pick such things from AOOI easily
enough.

        So - sorry for the delay :-) but it does look like a nice improvement,
for sure.

        All the best,

                Michael.
