No, it's a good one, and pretty much the solution I have been working on. At the moment I am turning the SVG files into Base64 encoded strings and loading them from a secondary Javascript file. I have written a simple HTML form page that lets one load images and convert them to the file source on the fly, too. The main issue I am working on now is that the SVG images have to be preformatted to a specific size before loading, so that they fit the hexes correctly. If I can determine a way to intelligently resize any image from the source to this size then I will do so. Otherwise I will likely provide a template file that folks will need to fit their custom SVGs to.
