Yes, I probably was mentioning the snapshotTime="" attribute that exists
in SVG Tiny 1.2. It can be placed on the root <svg> element to indicate
the animation time any static renderings should be taken at. I'm not
sure that is the best solution here, in retrospect, because:
1. It still requires the SVG engine to process the animation
elements in the document and to skip to the specified time. For
implementations that always deal with static renderings, it would
be nice not to have to require them to implement animation at all.
2. The time at which you'd want to take the snapshot would probably be
different for different glyphs, so you wouldn't want a document
global snapshot time.
