There might be a few exceptional cases where using a small bitmap for
textures would produce a really good effect, but in those cases a small
inline embedded bitmap should hopefully be enough.

If you haven't already changed the text I would appreciate if you could
rephrase that last bit to be something more like:
"All the content of the project is a public domain collection of vector
graphics clip art created using the W3C standard for Scalable Vector
Graphics (SVG)."

Something about the wording "vector-based" doesn't sit quite right.  The
emphasis on the vectors is good, but I prefer to see the term "vector
graphics" even at the risk of being repetative because non-native speakers
so often tranlslate it as "vectorial graphics".
