You can embed SVG into HTML if you wish.

Basically, browsers support SVG.

Yeah, but part of my goal is to only have to change the source for the image in one place. I suppose I could have a partial template with the SVG in it and pass in a variable for the scale, but I would still prefer the elegance of having a web-accessible API so I can use the images anywhere.

And of course, IE8 and below don't speak SVG.
