I want to add that lasem is not that bad compared to librsvg.

It doesn't support filters and css styling, and text support is poorer
than in librsvg (which is already quite poor).

But it's faster and use less memory, and has a DOM API (which open the
possibility of editing capabilities).

Both have the same low level of development activity.
