I updated the ticket, but when the time comes, we actually may want both. Depending on how this plays out, we might not want to implement SVGSerialization using 100% PIvot code. If we were to depend on third party libraries, like Batik, that would require the user to have a larger client download. The app developer could sidestep that issue if they converted their svg files to wtkx before deployment.
