Title: Import information from child <desc> tags as attr.description

Not sure if you'll want this change in the main branch as it's non standard. However, it was a quick and convenient way of getting information in from my externally generated SVG into my application.

It's probably not much harder to created actual nodes - I just didn't take the time to explore that.
