Indeed. But in the case of PNGs and GIFs they have their width and height
adjusted by the scale, while SVGs do not.
I did not test other browsers, but recent versions of Chrome and IE seem to
honor the scaled size.

In fact, I'm currently using a patched html-render.rkt to generate
documentation containing tons of tikz pictures, and it looks great.
Each picture is converted to svg by pdflatex+standalone+pdf2svg and then
included in an image-element with an appropriate scaling factor.
Before, I was converting everything to PNGs but the documentation was
taking inordinate amounts of disk space.

Obviously, I would prefer to use an officially maintained version of
Scribble that supports scaled SVGs.

Best,
Antonio.
