Notes

• Resource heavily used: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial
• This library uses xlink:href instead of the href standard in blocks to maintain compatability with eog (EyeOfGnome)
• path parameters use underscores instead of dashes, and are converted back to dashes when writing to svg files
  this could be solved by unpacking a dictionary every time you want to add parameters that use dashes, but that's pretty ugly
• we believe in tabs here, sorry.
