I can see the benefit of having a PNG version of an SVG image so that the
reader can be simpler. 

But based on this logic, the ODT should store the PNG version of many other
things too:
- the used fonts (preparing for a reader that cannot render fonts)
- shapes imported from Draw (preparing for a reader than cannot render a Draw
object)
- even the final look of the page.

Therefore, I believe storing everything should not be the default. 

I could imagine a set of checkboxes at the bottom of the File -> Save As
dialog, however. There are already some checkboxes, like:
[x] Automatic file name extension
[x] Save with password
[x] Encrypt with GPG key
There is space for more, like:
[x] embed SVG images as PNG
[x] embed WebP images as PNG
[x] embed each page as PNG

By default, they all would be off but I can see the use cases for them when the
user wants to populate the ODT with rasterized versions.
