given the number of SVG images in actual use on the web right now (very, very 
few) and the fact that i don't know of a single other part of KDE that has 
such a "no possible way to crash it or don't release it" policy, this seems a 
little harsh and even unfair.

i agree that if it is highly unstable / easily crashable then it should 
probably not go out, but requiring its critical defect rate to be 0 is a 
little harsh. nsplugins can't say that, kjs hasn't been able to say that .... 

getting public use and stress on this new component for a very new and only 
recently post-experimental technology would also be invaluable. this is about 
viewing gifs or jpegs. yet. ;-)

so how about a compromise somewhere in between, such as being able to handle 
w/out crashing the W3C SVG Test Suite: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/ ?
