Absolutely.

In this case it seems the drawing tool tried to position each character
separately.

Ideas:

- RFC Editor should do a sanity check on text handling
- find out what produced these SVGs (otherwise beautiful!) and see
whether it can be configured differently

...and if that's not possible: write a simple post-processor that fixes
the SVG (or embed that functionality into xml2rfc).

Best regards, Julian
