Which would depend on a bunch of the XML processing tools, too, since the SVG DTD is an XML application, not SGML. (Which would be fine by me ... I've got plenty of disk space, and plenty of XML tools installed already. :-) As for EPS as the superformat ... well, I like the simplicity of having a single storage format, but it's not always plain text, if I recall correctly. PostScript Level 2 (and up) allows bitmap images in an EPS file to be encoded using a variety of different mechanisms, some of the binary (right?).
