Another engine to keep our eyes on is inkscape, which
also can be used
as a batch rasterizer. While it, like rsvg, lacks the completeness of
Batik, it has a couple of qualities worth our attention:
1) Unlike rsvg it is actively developed and will one day be reasonably
feature complete. (it will soon have filters for example)
2) Unlike both rsvg and batik it's also a full authorship
environment.. in a perfect world we'd expect all renders to be
consistent, but they are not.. so if we're going to be wrong it's
better to be wrong in the same was as a tool people can actually use.
3) Rather a lot of the SVGs on Wikimedia are *created* using Inkscape,
so the rendering will be precisely what the author saved.
