 Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:  7.0.0                    
Component:  default      |     Version:  unspecified

 Currently {{{v.out.svg}}} interprets its {{{type}}} option in a
 non-standard way, namely:

  * it's not allowed to specify multiple types per {{{v.out.svg}}}
 invocation;

  * the name for the area feature type is {{{poly}}}, while it should be
 {{{area}}}.

  * there's no way to choose only points or centroids for output, only
 both; similarly for lines and boundaries.

 Hence, I suggest the following patch.

 Since the patch breaks the compatibility with the former versions of the
 module, I believe it should only be considered for GRASS 7.
