I think you missed the point. SVG is just text. It's XML. You can
manipulate it with SimpleXML or the DOM API functions just as you would any
other XML file. It's been a while since I worked with SVG, but I believe you
can resize an image just by changing an attribute or two. There's no need
for SVG support per se, as SimpleXML provides all you need anyway. That's
the advantage of XML. :-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
