I don't get it, I can just curl the svg and grep for mailto?

  Yes, but these scrapper bots aren't that sophisticated.

    But they will be as soon as this sees widespread use.

      it won't be widespread imho, not when you share you email address with other parties that then lose/sell your details. fastmail like 'temporal' email addresses could help, however.

    Querying DOM nodes is inherently more complicated than a regex on unparsed HTML.

    Crawl every link, now including SVG, and grep all 'mailto:' does not sound super sophisticated? wget --recursive --quiet $BASE_URL && grep -roh 'mailto:\([^"]*\)' works on the example and just prints the email

      I think the idea is that email scraper bots typically don't bother downloading images referenced by <img> tags.
