I think that I'm losing something here...
If the component that we're embedding renders non-vectorial stuff (think
in gnome-mines, the gimp, etc.), svg gives us nothing. To me, how/what
it renders, and how/what it uses to store its contents, is the component
model/component businnes.

yes, independently of the embedding stuff :-)
