What is currently available (see the screenshot):

- create simple shapes
- create line, arrow, text, foreignObject & image
- create and edit polyline and curves
- group/ungroup
- bring backward/forward
- rotate 90° and flip
- rotate, skew, scale and translate
- align objects
- style: color, opacity...

You can experiment most of these features in the last snapshot:
http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/BinDist.html

The next steps are:

- continuing the commands to edit shapes
- replacing the SVG library by a simplier mechanism that will use the SVG
tool panel rather than a copy/paste

I have not been able to reproduce the crash. I know that there is a crash
when you cut a point in a polyline/path but this is not related to the
<use/> element. Note that the way Amaya deal with selection in formatted
view has changed since the last release (basically, to edit elements in a
group, you must "ungroup" them first).
