I find it strange that anyone is concerned about SVG size. After all,
it's scalable. It's size is arbitrary. It has no "native" size. All
that's important is maintaining the proportions.
And you can use the command-line interface to scale the image to any
size. See `inkscape --help`. Perhaps what is needed is the same
ability in the GUI.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
