mapnik/mapnik — Issue #1043: export SVG with name's value as <text> on path

currently all placenames are exported as glyphs.

this is very poor for accessibility,
and means search engines cannot find content,
nb: google implemented filetype:svg

and breaks repurposing with for instance xslt to gazetteer

easy but ugly workaround is to include

for placenames, but use css to hide.
