You could add "V0H0z" to the end of the path data and instead of using stroke set stroke to "none" and fill to any color you like. Without a stroke, using transform would not yield ugly results.
If you wish to use a stroke then you could use Javascript to rescale the path data. The source code would still hold the original data. The script only adapts it for display at runtime. Or you can define your own namespace and XML syntax for storing the original data inside the SVG.
