BTW one benefit of SVG is that it has a shadow dom. That means it is shielded from tampering unwanted CSS styling. This is one of the problems web devs face using web components. So if you have a web component, "MyButton" and it has it's using the regular DOM using div, img and spans to make the button, all that markup is affected by CSS selectors and inheriting styles. When a shadow dom is enabled it tells the browser to not apply any CSS to it's content. The HTML5 video player uses shadow dom. If you add it to a page none of your CSS changes the look or feel of the buttons, slider, and so on. Browser manufacturers have agreed to expose this feature to web developers which is great but it will be years before it can be used solely. SVG has had shadow dom for almost ten years. Anyway, food for thought.
