It seems really easy to implement in Emacs Lisp + svg, so that's no
problem.  I've started implementing an SVG creation library.

However, I'm now looking at the algorithm this uses, and I notice:

 var hash = hex_sha1(text) + hex_md5(text);

I think the common reaction to seeing md5 being used for anything these
days is "err".  Although it's probably OK here, I wonder what's the
chance of this algorithm getting much uptake?  Has anybody started using
this?  Is there an RFC?
