Very cool indeed. I am certainly not an expert but I thought I'd remind you
of a vaguely similar idea that Julien Danjou implemented with his
org-location-google-maps.el: he stores the location in the LOCATION property
of an entry.

Maybe a TRACK property, possibly accompanied by an ID that will link to
the SVG as an attachment and act as a cache? And other fields can be added
at will (name, date, completion time, amount of water drunk :-) etc.)
