Ideally, I think they should all be sizeless (no width and height,
just a viewBox). Then any decent SVG viewer will automatically
scale them to fit the viewing area (and resize them if the viewing
area is changed). This is much better than a fixed size, which
will usually be either too big for the viewing area, or too small.
