If you can convince me that it is not possible for layout and rendering to be refactored into distinct tasks or "services", then my interest in FOP diminishes to zero, and I'll stop making so much noise. I don't see why that should be true.
Layout and rendering can be factored into different packages of services, actually this is already done to a large extent. However, the interface is quite complex, and I don't think you can plug in the old layout engine without rewriting significant parts of it into the framework provided by HEAD.
I don't follow your point about SVG. From a big-picture, abstract standpoint, why do we need to think of SVG any differently than any other graphic type?
Inlined SVG code is parsed by the FOTreeBuilder. In any case, the FOTreeBuilder must have at least some knowledge about anything wich can appear in instream-foreign-object.
