Producing a smaller SVG thumbnail of a SVG image would
definitely be
possible. Looking at Flag_of_Mexico, almost all the coordinates have several
decimal places, so could reduce the accurancy of those in a smaller image
without loosing anything.
Opting for producing a cached PNG thumbnail in the example given (tiny
flag images) as is done at present is likely suitable when the page is
explicitly asking for a tiny thumbnail. Send the full SVG for the
printed stylesheet, maybe.
(this is all highly theoretical and going nowhere without running code
of course)
