Another engine to keep our eyes on is inkscape, which also can be used as a batch rasterizer. While it, like rsvg, lacks the completeness of Batik, it has a couple of qualities worth our attention:
- Unlike rsvg it is actively developed and will one day be reasonably
feature complete. (it will soon have filters for example) 2) Unlike both rsvg and batik it's also a full authorship environment.. in a perfect world we'd expect all renders to be consistent, but they are not.. so if we're going to be wrong it's better to be wrong in the same was as a tool people can actually use.
3) Rather a lot of the SVGs on Wikimedia are *created* using Inkscape, so the rendering will be precisely what the author saved.
