You don't know what screen the user has. It may be a CRT, a vertically striped LCD, a printer with much higher resolution than you are prepared to make images for, or a handheld screen with limited colors. Using the platform-provided drawing routines gives you a better chance of getting high-quality (and fast!) rendering. But it is not forbidden to provide SVG images for the corners. It's an extra download and you may have to make alternative images for UAs that don't implement SVG, but if you want to have that extra precision, you can.
