Not knowing all the details of what you''re doing, I would most likely
separate the SVG generation code entirely from both the view and the
controller. SVG is a graphic. I would treat it as an object (or object
graph) unto itself. Your controller would then ask for the data (i.e.
the SVG rendering code) and update the view. That''s the responsibility
of the controller, nothing more.
