Why? It should be possible to embed the SVG with the PNG as fallback.
And in view of making the books accessible (in particular for people
with low vision who need a large fontsize) SVG is the way to go
(probably followed closely by a normal HTML table although for people
with no vision a table might not be the best way to present the CRs). A
PNG really should be the last resort although I have a hard time to
find a use case were neither the SVG nor the HTML table is the better
alternative.
