Recently, I came across a requirement from a client that needed all SVG media types to render using the internal XML <Path> in the DOM, rather than using the standard <Img> tag.
This was a tricky one and there wasn’t very much information about how to accomplish this, as its not necessarily a common request. That being said, it does have its advantages, such as recoloring the vector using CSS.
