Hi Emile,

I'm not into GRASS, but for your info:

I've been working with Hugo Lopes (in cc) to make wikimedia maps with
qgis and svg: see for example

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Resources/QGis_lesson_3:_Raster_to_vector_and_Change_projection#Export_GIS_Vectors_.26_Raster_layers_to_SVG_.28100.25.29

We have tried to make a plugin to make it possible to export (simple)
maps as svg in a way that editing in inkscape is easier (keep features
of a class in one group, keep features in a layer, naming a group the
name of a layer, naming a point the label name etc etc).

Maybe this can be usefull also.
