What markup would you want to see for invoking ASCII SVG?  Perhaps something
like...?

  (:asciisvg width=300 height=300 :) [=
     initPicture(0,1,0)
     a=[0,0]; b=[1,1]
     rect(a,b)
     stroke="red"
     ellipse([.5,.5],.5,.25)
     stroke="blue"
     ellipse([.5,.5],.25,.5) 
  =]

Or perhaps...?

  (:asciisvg width=300 height=300 :)
     initPicture(0,1,0)
     a=[0,0]; b=[1,1]
     rect(a,b)
     stroke="red"
     ellipse([.5,.5],.5,.25)
     stroke="blue"
     ellipse([.5,.5],.25,.5) 
  (:asciisvgend:)

I'm open for other suggestions.  It doesn't seem like it would be at
all difficult to implement, if we can just comeup with a reasonable
markup sequence for it.
