Any chance I can rekindle the interest in this? I'm still around to
support the patchset and there are no known bugs.

Long term, I think using libcss is a better approach for parsing all of
the CSS properties that now live inside the SVG spec. Short term, it
would be great for me if I could use libsvgtiny as a librsvg
replacement inside of GTK where the "symbolic icons" use <style> tags
to override some colors.
