Steve,

please try and get a handle without my assistance.
your contribution will be the more valuable? I think...

this is a pretty complex issue.
perhaps I should write up a more formal explanation.
Please read the few files online already.

searching using graphics is very expensive on resources.
see http://www.openclipart.org after many years still no indication  
even png of what one is downloading...

html forms would not help at all, if you read the bug I pointed you  
to, it explains what is missing.
reading the requirements link will also help.

there is a very good semantic reason for not linking to any old svg  
file.
eg how do I find more of the same, what group is this a member of etc...
just one example:
each person with a LD can upload their own vocabulary, which is then  
available to others.

trying the whole thing out, and registering an svgz file , would be a  
bonus!

best wishes and thanks again...
