The first is renderer of the svg files. If you insert the file as you
mentioned, it will be stored as a svg file and svgio will render it
using the drawing layer.

The second is document importer. It imports the svg into Draw shape by
shape and mappable style property by mappable style property. The
result of such import (because there is no matching exporter) is
basically an odg file, since our importer API is internally using flag
ODF anyway.

There might be a possibility to share some code, I guess. Although, I
am not sure whether the parsers use the same approach. The
filter/source/svg one is basically constructing DOM and then several
"visitors" are running through the structure and extracting useful
information.
