Hi again I develop a extremely simple extension (using the same technic as graphviz extension and easytimeline extension) with wich you can render SVG images online ... The main utility for me (and the community) is to maintain a version control over UML Diagrams and other approachs . Instructions on how to use it and samples and downlads at my wiki : http://www.wickle.com/wikis/index.php/SVG_extension I am still working on it, so all sugestions are welcome ...
best regards

I don't think this is a realistic approach for SVG. graphviz language is designed for humans, SVG is for computers. Not many people will want to write SVG by hand.
Handling SVG as a Image: type plus diff between image revisions is a more feasible approach in my eyes.

yes , its true ... but i am thinking on a wiki used for manage documentation on a development, and the need is to share documentation, one important part of the documentation are the UML diagrams, and sharing it on SVG format its usefull to control version and to publish on the wiki. I am not thinking on images, but its an added feature (with no visible utility)
I am using this format not to edit at hand , but with omondo UML or together exporting and importing SVG formats ...

What about internationalization? Is it feasible to edit SVG files for the purpose of only translating a few strings? If so, we should probably allow it.

In principle, yes, although this depends on the SVG. It's human-readable plaintext XML, and can be written by hand, and on occasion some people actually do (some guy in kuro5hin's diaries section recently linked to a hand-coded SVG he made that plotted people on the 2d "political compass" spectrum). The main problem would be the quality of output from machine-generated SVG: Some of it, like machine-generated HTML, is... not so human-readable.

yes , of course you can modify text , almost on SVG's generated by Omondo UML, MagicDraw and Poseidon ... Again you can test it at http://www.wickle.com/wikis/index.php/SVG_extension you can change use cases texts and so ...

Incidentally, last night I checked in some quick hacky code to CVS to support rasterizing SVG images to PNG via ImageMagick when a 'thumbnail' size is given.
