W3C is working on the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), a language
for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster
graphics in XML. As its name says, it's designed to be scalable.
SVG will be an appropriate format to describe graphics like
circuit daiagrams. You can zoom them.
For more information about SVG, please look at:
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG
You can find the latest Working Draft of the SVG specification at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG
If you have comments on SVG, please send your comments to
