+ Once you have an SVG image loaded into an RsvgHandle, you can
+ render it to a Cairo context any number of times, or to
+ different Cairo contexts, as needed. As a convenience, you can
+ pick a single element in the SVG by its "id" attribute and
+ render only that element; this is so that sub-elements can be
+ extracted conveniently out of a larger SVG.
