10877	motorway_junction.svg optimization	rickmastfan67	team	"I just noticed you were playing around with the new SVG for this icon in [o30870] to add back the white background (something that I personally agree with) that the PNG version had.  Anyways, I noticed that you made the icon in Inkscape and was wondering why it wasn't saved as a 'plain SVG' for the JOSM dist.  If it had been saved as a 'plain SVG' instead of an 'Inkscape SVG', you could have saved over 1KB in size. (3.18kb -> 2.07kb)  I know, that doesn't seem like a lot, but, if other SVGs in JOSM were saved as 'Inkscape SVGs' instead of 'plain SVGs' (this is the only one I checked), the extra size could add up.

I've attached a 'Plain SVG' of the icon to this post.  I've also did a little bit of cleanup beyond the conversion to 'Plain SVG', like fixing the 'y=""-9.9920072e-016""' line to 'y=""0""' for the rectangle which frees up a few more bites.  Also fixed the location on the motorway icon where it was using the 'transform' to move it a minor 0.25 (transform=""translate(-0.25,-0.25)"") to also gain back a few more bites.  With these extra minor tweaks, I have brought down the file size to 2.00kb, a savings of 1.18kb, or 37.1% over the current file.

I hope this minor work is appreciated as I always try to optimize the SVG files I make for my other personal projects in Inkscape.

(On a side note Klumbumbus, I don't know what platform you use, but I notice you're using Inkscape 0.48.4 per the file info.  Inkscape 0.48.5 is now out and has been for several months.  Also, 0.91 is coming out soon too.  Just thought I would mention this in case you didn't know this yet.)"	defect	closed	trivial	14.12	Core	latest	fixed	svg icon	Klumbumbus
