Anyway, I thought you might like to have a look at: http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~isenberg/projects/hqrendering.html He uses non-photorealistic rendering techniques to produce high quality vector renderings (apparently to SVG) of 3D shapes, it's not 100% automatic if I remember correctly, but it's probably nearly as close to automatic as you'd want to get (in this area you'll always want to have some room left for tweaking the end result to achieve different effects).

Very interesting, thanks :) Although this and other similar things (like http://freestyle.sourceforge.net/) all work from a 3D model, which is a fundamentally different thing from a 2D image.
