Dahlink, and whom, exactly, is the "you" in this scenario? Which person or party is the schmuck making these
oh-so-easy SVGs? And whom is the person stuck coding these mothers inside the ePUB, exactly? (And don't get me STARTED about making the matching jpgs, for KDP backward compatibility....and coding all the fallback stuff.)
You do realize that the people writing this stuff are creating the MathML either in Word (yes, really!!!) or in LaTEX, right? They're not helpfully making these on some random website and then... I mean, I think you're thinking about possible solutions (good on you for that) for problems that don't actually happen in the wild. I'm talking about solutions for files that have thousands of the little bastards in 'em already...
I don't think I've ever had anyone come to me with a file in one hand and a gajillion SVGs in the other...I don't think. Granted, it's been a lotta years, but still, I'm not quite that demented yet...
