mainstream rendering support in web browsers, but should be enabled for upload on
commons in order to store the SVG source files for many PNG images.
Related to bug 667.

SVG, like HTML, supports dynamic scripting. Common plug-ins allow executing
JavaScript in the browser context. SVG is disabled pending a safety filter.
