This is super cool, thank you!

The SVG is actually generated by Zint itself, only lightly patched in the wrapper. Zint is a pretty old barcode generator (not meant disrespectfully, quite the opposite actually), it's quite possible that some of its decisions when rendering to SVG are out of date or very conservative. The use of id/global namespace does feel like a potential pain point though, which I will take up with the upstream project.
