http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Mexico.svg
is 500kb, while
most uses of it are 25px thumbnails. Something must be done about it.
Er, yeah, there is that ... I suppose it would be plausible to render
and cache tiny versions. (At this point it starts sounding
complicated.)
Also, there are people who still use IE5, Netscape or
other kinds of
nonsense who will be unable to see SVGs.
I was thinking in terms of sending SVGs directly only to browsers that
can definitely handle it, not to everyone. I'm not sure there's a
reasonable capability check - FF2 thinks it can do SVGs, but does a
horrible job.
