Description
The SVG 1.1 spec defines a way to georeference a map saved as SVG. This would be useful for static maps saved as SVG. The Wikimedia Commons may be the largest potential beneficiary of this, as it encourages maps to be saved in a vector format for scalability. If the maps were to be georeferenced, they could be imported into a GIS for editing or amendment.
It would be great if GDAL added support for SVGs based on this spec. Since SVGs do not typically have attributes in the GIS sense, I'd imagine that the driver should provide vector attributes such as stroke-width, color, etc., as attributes for later interpretation.

I don't know of any. I don't think there would be much point in writing metadata that nothing could read.

This ticket has been automatically closed because Trac is no longer used for GDAL bug tracking, since the project has migrated to GitHub. If you believe this ticket is still valid, you may file it to https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues if it is not already reported there.
Are there data productions using that ?
