SVG file format for external graphic packs

It would be highly advantageous to use or at least enable the use (next to png files) of svg file formats, especially for club logos and flags when it comes to external graphic packs (or even SI's own graphics, should it not use this format as of yet). One would only need 1 file instead of the 2 or 3, in different folders. The program could also always display the graphic in the most appropriate resolution (no more stretching artefacts etc), and writing a small piece of code which does this irrespective of side length ratios is not the end of the world (always displaying the largest image possible for the given space). Came to the idea whilst doing a vanilla flag pack, and the act of redisplaying the svg file (from wikipedia) in different sizes is really rather robotic and could be much more easily and quickly done by the machine. And also given that flags are shown in more than 3 sizes, there is still a bit of algorithm that evidently keeps resizing these pre-prepared png files as well. Why the whole effort when it could be done much more simply and elegantly. (Not to mention the fact that svg files - by definition - are of better quality than a png representation of a logo or such. Probably not too suited for facepacks though...)
