I sometimes think the main idea behing SVG is to ship things over a network, not to store it on a local disk (things like DICOM comes to mind...). on the other hand, several major players in the graphics applications arena has announced that they'll support SVG in a near future. could be interesting to learn how they are addressing this little problem...
