You should remember that SVG is a format exclusively intended to be 
rendered to a raster output.  I don't think there is any SVG interpreter 
that does something different like the backwards rendering required by 
POV-Ray (i.e. the possibility to determine the color at an arbitrary 
point without rasterizing the whole SVG at a certain resolution).

A lot of SVG features would be very difficult and extremely slow to 
access this way.  This means even if support for this existed it would 
be more efficient to generate a raster image from the SVG at the 
required resolution before.
