I see your point. Well as long as Thien is happy in the end that's fine
then :)

Thien: how good is Illustrators SVG output nowadays? I had to process
its output once and remember having to manually clean up each file to
stop Batik from barfing during rendering. The way it embedded fonts,
used custom elements and namespaces etc seemed to completely confuse the
renderer. This was 4 years ago though, so i'm just curious to see if
batik and illustrator have evolved since then ;)

From my very limited experience (creating simple things in Inkscape and
continu in Illustrator because of easier to use features):
- text blocks created in Inkscape give problems in Illustrator (CS2):
they end up as gray blocks and Illustrator complains about fonts if they
happen to be unavailable. I haven't yet found a solution other than
going back to Inkscape, change the fonts and redo the steps in Illustrator.
- there is something different between positions and scaling between
Inkscape and Illustrator: a drawing that is centered on the page in
Inkscape is suddenly half way off the page in Illustrator.
There are issues, but I'm not sure if it's a major problem. We might do
a reverse check: Illustrator SVG to Inkscape and see what happens.
