When I created the SVG Symbols page for additional symbols that might be 
used in Osmarender I assumed that other contributors would add their symbols 
to it as well.  My intention was that people would be able to take the code 
from that page and add it to the current version of Osmarender, and when 
Etienne releases a new version to go in SVN if he thougfht any of those 
symbols worthwhile he might include them.

On that basis feel free to add symbols to the SVG Symbols page

I guess either here on the mailing list or on the wiki at talk:svg symbols 
page

If you want, email me your SVG code and I'll have a look at it
