This document discusses the history and benefits of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and how SVG rendering has evolved in Ember.js. It explains that SVG was standardized by the W3C in 1998 in response to competing vector formats. Benefits of SVG include small file sizes, arbitrary resolution, and ability to include metadata, links and animation. The document then summarizes the evolution of how Ember renders templates, moving from rendering templates as strings to directly manipulating the DOM with objects like HTMLBars. It discusses challenges of managing namespaces and contexts when rendering templates directly to the DOM.
