If you are just worried about horizontal centering, you can use the
text-anchor property to horizontally center it over the x coordinate you
specify.
<text x="100" y="100" text-anchor="middle">
Some text
</text>
Even if you change the text, it will still be centered over x="100".
There is no equivalent vertical centering, however.
