Obviously it will take some computation to apply CSS layouts to SVG content, but I wouldn't want content that doesn't use it to be slower. Whether the <rect><text>...</text></rect> syntax makes the rect fit the text (as I understand Doug's proposal it doesn't), it makes a lot of sense to me to be able to have a rectangle sized according to some text. SVG diagrams now just don't respond well different fonts available, localised text, available space for rendering, etc.
