$ firefox symbol.svg

renders a familiar looking symbol on my debian linux machine.

So, are you thinking of making a translation in and out of gschem for all the attributes
a full symbol needs?  Embedding the attribs in the SVG?

Then being able to morph the visual shape of a symbol with well developed tools
as inkscape and import into scribus for making a book out of it?

That might go over well.  Using SVG as the internal format for gschem symbols and pcb
footprints might not go over so well as the current formats are more compact.
