Can't help but think (though I haven't seen the SVG spec), 
does the SVG format have indication of LOD of the elements, and possibly
element class (contour, key, background etc), or scaling factor speed, or something like that?
so the creator of the image can indicate when to stop showing certain portions
of the image... one could do creating it large, then downscaling without
loosing the gist of the icon...

Of course it is then on the image creators' head to indicate what needs to stay at
different level of details, how 'quickly' the lines should scale relative to the resizing...
