Yes, Math lib is using it.

I'm pretty sure this is a docbook issue - it has a habit of extracting 
the width and height from the within the SVG image and adding this to 
the generated HTML.  I've no idea why, and not had much luck getting it 
to generate anything else.  Might be related to the HTML version being 
generated?
