A completely reasonable expectation: after doing just a simple removal of a lot of data that was encoded in CDATA elements, the image size is reduced by a factor of 20, which results in the SVG available at http://crschmidt.net/tmp/icecream.svg .
(This URL is not permanent: it may dissapear at some point in the future.)
This image is only 21kb, as opposed to 450.
Key to creating decent SVG from Adobe is to just check the content by hand: it's really easy to pull out a lot of stuff most of the time, in my experience.
ive just written a simple xslt stylesheet to do the job, you can find it here: http://www.treebuilder.de/svg/ill2svg.xslt
hope you find it usefull Holger _______________________________________________ clipart mailing list clipart@...626... http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart
