Steve,

Great!

please could you or Garry? send me a few example SVGs before the batch  
run?

bugs:

function: clicking does not add to cart. checked opera mozilla and  
safari nightlies

accessibility: graphics selection (for cart) is not possible by  
keyboard afaik...

accessibility: as well as text search is image search planned? nb.  
media gallery large graphic appears to be a link, hand pointer, but....

A great start, congratulations
