Also, should we *add SVG* or *replace the primitives with SVG*?  I admit I don't know enough about SVG to make good arguments either way.

will do. 

regarding the replacement of MEI primitives, I'd vote against for consistency's sake. The best way to include SVG seems to make it model.graphicLike, as it happens in TEI+SVG. I've done this mod for Edirom, and it works as expected. Basically, it allows SVG inside a surface (among other spots). Doing this, we surely don't want to loose mei:zone. If we allow mei:zone and svg:* within surface, why should we disallow lines and such in symbols?
