Comment (by wenzeslaus):

 Replying to [comment:3 glynn]:

 That's why I wanted to avoid that. It seems that having the rendering
 functionality split into commands creates many problems.

 > Inkscape is garbage for anything with technical constraints. I usually
 end up writing Python scripts to manipulate the XML.

 So, it seems. Having such a script in GRASS and also incorporated in GUI
 would be nice. The role of Inkscape here is really the manual fine tuning
 afterwards (the main motivation for this ticket).

 > Converting !PostScript invariably loses information.

 Makes sense, of course. That's why we need Cairo driver to support it.
