Well, no, it's actually a document filter.

I think that's almost impossible using pure xslt. The subset of SVG
OOo supports (well, it's actually just a subset of the entities, not
necessarily the semantics) is too small, and the amount of
processing too big for this conversion to be of any fidelity.
But depending on the requirements, any transformation might be
better than no transformation - and clearly, having svg<->odf xslt
can be useful in a web server context e.g.
So, Ray, knowing the limits, your offer is surely welcome!
