Easily setting a background color would be a nice option to have.  
There's this snippet, and it works for SVG (but there's room for 
improvement):

Ah, right, like this: http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=443

That wraps everything in <g> tags with a color property, like so:

<g color="rgb(0%, 0%, 100%)">
  <rect fill="currentColor" />
</g>


Would probably be better if it did this instead:

<rect fill="rgb(0%, 0%, 100%)" />
