This scenario depends on the idea that the tool in question will serve
as an SVG normalizer. From what I can gather, none of the tools seem to
manage to do that. Or at least, do it in such a way as not to make
hamburger of the output SVG.

For my money, Inkscape seems to be the leader in this space (open source
generic SVG editor), and is portable across all three major platforms:
Unixes, Windows, and MacOS. I think it's even in the BSD ports collections,
Bruce. :-)
I would dearly love to have an SVG normalizer, but it seems no one has
done the deed.
