Many Thanks for your kind words, just notice that
this is not the complete solution but a small step in
the long and winding road of importing SVG graphics
to LiveCode stacks. If LiveCode ask me about this,
I will suggest to import SVG Tiny 1.2 not the 
SVG 1.1 Full specification.

The first time that I saw SVG graphics, I though:
"NO, No, no... I do not want to use or learn anything
about this new format..."
I am sure that I was not alone. 

What is wrong with SVG? Probably nothing... 

A good selling point for SVG is Extensibility
Who does not love and want to apply this 
concept of Extensibility in their own life in 
every possible way? :-D

Those Transformation Matrices catch the eye of 
every 3D graphics developer who have to deal 
with them in a daily basis in their 3D job.

And If you are really dedicated to your craft,
you could add video, audio, animation and 
interactivity within your svg files.

SVG remembers me that old joke:
A Camel is a horse designed by a committee.

SVG is the horse created by WC3 and now everybody
who needs to use vector graphics in the web needs to 
learn to ride that horse... or else (bitmaps).
