Yes, that makes sense. I suppose procedural textures using SVG and 
JavaScript are possible, but InkScape (or other software) would probably 
break them.

I often use a program called GeoGebra that is a point-and-click maths 
program that can export to SVG. But it is not meant for creating art, so 
there are not a lot of options when it comes to visual style, effects, 
etc. Usually my needs are not great and I just use the exported SVG. But 
often I will sketch what I want in GeoGebra, then use the results of 
calculations to generate coordinates I can import into other software.
