This is why we are developing SVG as an XML namespace, as well as a stand-alone file format. For example you could have one XML document which contained SVG, XUL, XHTML, and a bunch of other namespaces. You could even make up a dinky little mini-database dump format, with <record> elements, each of which contained an <svg> element and some other stuff (like links to audio, documentation in XHTML, etc) -- Chris
