Re: SVG in HTML

That's what Martin's bit of JavaScript is supposed to take care of,
though. IE doesn't have builtin support for MathML either, and folks
were fine with throwing that directly into the HTML. So either we need
to change how we embed both MathML and SVG (maybe using <object>
tags), or we just throw them into the HTML file and let the JavaScript
take care of it.

Also, to change a SVG's width and height, all we should need to do is
to modify the <svg> tag's contents a bit. It has a width and height
attribute. We'll probably want to munge the SVG a bit anyway, in case
it has an <?xml?> header.
