Ok, that is a better idea than what I was originally thinking.
So really, we just want:
PICT->SVG
E/WMF->SVG
flash->SVG
other vector formats->SVG
for import, and
SVG->PNG
for rendering.
The vector image class in AbiWord could then just be a subclass of the
normal image class, containg a buffer with the original SVG XML. Copying,
editing (via component), and saving would use this XML and the associated
PNG byte buffer would be updated/generated by it and the SVG->PNG routine.
How does this sound to everyone else?
Also, does SVG describe animation or interactivity? Do we want AbiWord to
concern itself with these things?
