  • Problem: SVG files are currently rendered out as PNG files on pages that use the image.
  • Proposed solution: Embed the SVG into the page output, only using PNG as a fallback on devices that don't support SVG.
  • Who would benefit: Readers on various devices when zooming in on the image within an article.
  • More comments: Currently SVG files are rendered out in a fixed resolution PNG file which, when scaled, suffers from the usual issues when zooming into a raster image. Embedded SVG (allowing clients/web browsers to render the images instead) would allow these images to be scaled infinitely with the only restriction being the client/browser.
