You are quite right, and the svg *may* only be needed for pdf generation, so
this is a detail that can be sorted by someone who knows more than I.

But I wanted potential users to see what the logos would look like.

I agree too that the red "Inspired by" and "Powered by" would be better if
bigger,
and attach the png versions in a bigger font.

So is there support for optional use of these logos in 'Not-Official-Boost'
docs?

(Using Rene Rivera's new   <xsl:param>boost.image="Inspired by Boost.png"
option).
