Am I being unreasonable? Shouldn't SVGWeb just work with the test suites? +1. Whilst SVGWeb is a great piece of work, it is just a (sophisticated) hack to use Flash as a render engine for SVG for browsers that don't have SVG (<IE9). So it is a bit of a strange thing to have as part of an official test harness - since it's not testing SVG per se, but the Flash hack. It belongs as part of the SVGWeb project, not the W3C "official' test suite IMO.
