Nice work! I'm just starting work on a full CSVG implementation in SVG
1.1 + script. I think some things won't be possible (for example,
there's no way of getting at animation events except maybe by having a
timer that continually checks SVGAnimated*.animVal for changes) but it
should be possible to do most things. How slow an XPath evaluator in
script would be is another question I'm interested to find the answer
to. :-)
