Small floats are being rendered in exponential form and ignored about diagrams-svg

[byorgey]

Can you also give precise information about which browser/other program you are using to view the SVGs? The SVG spec certainly allows this format for numbers (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#DataTypeNumber) but it may be that whatever SVG renderer you are using does not.

It doesn't work in the OSX finder preview, and Safari Version 6.0.3 (8536.28.10). Works fine in chrome and gimp.

My guess is that a workaround in blaze svg to render only decimal numbers would fix this, although it's frustrated that apple screwed this up.

I experimented a little with emitting fewer digits to decrease the size of
the output a little while ago but similar code would need to be changed to
avoid IEEE scientific notation. In my case I used a newtype wrapper with a
different show instance here:
https://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-svg/blob/master/src/Graphics/Rendering/SVG.hs#L61-L65.
If it is just the linewidth that is parsing incorrectly then this isn't
that big of a change.

I actually don't think it is just line width. I'll figure out the extent of the the issue.
