Hi Paolo,

I'm not sure that those are proper svg. They look like svg wrapped 
around something binary (a png?). I didn't know that was legal.

Either way they're lacking the "fill", "stroke", and "stroke-width" 
parameters that the sourcepole post needs to make things editable.

I did up a little shell script that worked on the examples I had, but 
given your examples I need to play with it a bit because it should fail 
for our examples better than it does. I can put that up somewhere if 
people are interested.

-ramon.
