Cairo has the ability to render to SVGs and PNGs simultaneously, maybe sticking to that to reduce redundancy and take advantage of those features may be a better path?

I have some other thoughts as well, will add reviews later

That won't work because we want to compile to browser. Cairo bindings won't be available in the browser.

Are you trying to render SVG files that can be downloaded from the browser, or attach SVG elements to the DOM so they can be viewed in-browser?
