Thanks for the info.
I see two problems with the svg.el package.
1) It is not clear upfront, when it does not work, as demonstrated with
svg-image vs svg-print.
This is general problem with foreign dependencies.
2) Elisp does not have keyword arguments. However, svg.el works around
that with rest arg plist. This brings the worst of both worlds:
complexity and useless tools.
For example, I use eldoc. Eldoc hint for svg-circle is useless:
svg-circle: (SVG X Y RADIUS &rest ARGS)
I have to dig into the source code to find out what ARGS is. Every
time I use svg-circle.
Writing own alternative to svg.el offers a chance to fix those problems.
