The "Squares in Squares" page [0] has a hilarious method for embedding long constants into the SVG files (which contain enough digits that they're clearly being provided more for the reader's sake than the browser's): as entity declarations in an internal DTD, to be referenced in the SVG attributes [1]!

I find it a beautiful usage of a feature that few know about (and even fewer would prefer to know about), but which works well in the browser regardless. I might steal the pattern for some of my own SVGs if no one's looking. (Well, not before testing its portability with non-browser SVG processors.)

They probably looked on stack overflow for: how can I include constants in svg files?
