No, I don’t believe there is any such tag or attribute to set the viewBox so that it will hold all drawn contents of a drawing. I could see the value, though, of what you’re saying: doing it declaratively instead of via script. As it is, I believe you’d have to do as Yannick says: render all content inside a <g> and, upon the load of the svg, measure the <g> with getBBox(). If you’re using D3, then you have access to JavaScript (not all viewers do), so it shouldn’t matter too much (the computational efficiency of getBBox() should work pretty efficiently as a function of the number of drawn objects in the <g>, though I suppose the complexity of the objects would affect this as well)
