I'm not sure what you want do achieve, but perhaps the Xwidget branch
can be of interest. In the branch its possible to embedd a webkit
browser in an emacs window, similar to an image. So, you could show svg
graphics in the webkit component.

There is also initial support to manage the DOM inside the component
from Elisp.

I also had some proof of concept support for other graphical
containers, such as a Clutter view.
