I'll file some as soon as I have some reproducible test cases.  What I see all
the time are:
    1) histograms with bars extending below the horizontal axis
    2) pixelation of lines for some choices of figsize.
If you understand either of these I'd appreciate your comments.

Aha, I see you've done some work on mpl svg interactivity too.  Perhaps you
could tell us what you're doing on the mpl side with SVG interactivity?
