Seems nice, thanks for sharing it. I think that in some cases where even 
finer control is needed the artist could also enter the boundingBox 
directly in the SVG theme, and the code could retrieve the boundingRect 
of the element. This would guarantee that elements do not run over each 
other, in case of very large strings. I understand that in Ksirk this is 
really not a concern for the country maps, and centering is enough.

Just to complement the suggestion above, in the case of multiple text 
fields the author could also precalculate the minimum fontSize for all 
of them, and use the minimum size for all fields. Again, this is not 
necessary in Ksirk, but might be nice to have in some themes (to 
guarantee a given set of labels have the same font size, which is 
usually more pleasant.)
