It does bring up some interesting possibilities, however. We've done a few
shows where line art was used for things like consoles/dials/instrumentation
panels, etc. And we would simply rasterize those to large bitmaps. And that
works fine because on disk they compress really well. But I always thought it
was slick when John Carmack demonstrated real-time vector->raster (Doom4) on
all their in-game displays/consoles... particularly for the fonts. Do you think
this is worth pursuing in OIIO?

I dont believe OpenImageIO supports svg.
SVG is a vector graphics format, and so to support it would basically
require adding a vector rasterization engine. Not impossible, but it
hasnt been high on our priority list. You also dont see svgs very
often in VFX or animation production. (even reference artwork in
animation is usually raster based)
