And, in fact, if we think in terms of AbiShow there are three modes:
1. static display for document images - embedded object + SVG preview
2. edit mode - image and/or presentation creation
3. dynamic presentation - JavaScript animation etc.
Done properly, an SVG image in an AbiWord document is an embedded object
with itself as preview...

It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and
wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again.
That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong.
