Having read all that is written here over several years I came to the following conclusion:
Surely somewhere someone must be sitting laughing at us, because they know something we don't. Every time someone tries to address this issue it gets shot down. Without explanation! The developers don't seem to need the correct SVG coordinate system, and don't care to fix it for their users. Half the people on here are now willing to pay to get this working and I am sure there are or will be pay-for apps out there that comply to the SVG spec regarding this issue. It is ok to say your application has been downloaded x-million times, but how many of those people uninstalled it shortly afterwards because of unfixed bugs like this? I'm outta here... This is not worth the effort. Keep your broken-ware!

The SVG spec places the default origin on the top left of the viewport, and has the co-ordinate system increasing to the right and downwards.
