A friend of mine, noting that Wikipedia uses SVG images
for diagrams, asked if it also had some written guidelines
for how to write the SVG source code, in particular to
express measurement values in the original units rather
than on a pixel scale. He had found some SVG diagram that
made a curve from 140 pixels to 190 pixels, rather than
from 7 million to 9.5 million inhabitants, which was the
unit that the y axis displayed. (Or something like that.)
I said "probably not, your thinking is likely 5 years
ahead of the Wikipedia community".
As this all happened in April 2009, he came back yesterday
to ask where we are now.
Do we have any guidelines for how to hand-write the
source code of SVG diagrams? Should we?
Maybe this is related to Wikidata?

Really this seems like the domain of commons to set "standards" for svg
writing. I think this should be brought up over there
