forceRedraw() exists on SVGSVGElement in SVG 1.1, and it's supported by 
MozillaSVG at least.

I think it should be exercised with extreme care, because whilst forceRedraw 
allows you to ensure the screen is updated - it does not free up the UI to 
respond to user actions, I'd rather it was discouraged rather than 
encouraged.
