The  introduction of gesture based  browsers (for example Safari on the  iPad)  
has made me realise how valuable scaleable graphics are.  Jmol currently writes 
out  three unscaleable (or at least not without loss) bitmap formats (gif, jpg 
and png).  Might we consider adding the lossless vector format  SVG  to this 
output?

I note with surprise and much gratitude that all the major browsers now support 
SVG very well indeed (even on the  iPad).  And  as an XML language,  SVG has 
the advantage of retaining (eg) atom coordinates and much else.
