    Oh really?  Have you read the Conformance section lately?

    There are two sub-categories of Conforming SVG Viewers:
      l) Conforming Static SVG Viewers support the static language
	features of SVG that correspond to the feature string
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/feature#SVG-static" (see Feature
	strings). This category often corresponds to platforms and
	environments which only render static documents, such as
	printers.

    I agree with Fred that there is really a need for such a profile,
and not just for 'printing' but to act as a high-quality graphics
interchange format - not everything wants or needs to be dynamic.

    Fortunately the profile already exists!
