Martin, I'm guessing you read the IRC conversation? My proposal here was
just for AbiDraw as a sketch program, not a presentation tool. But we were
talking yesterday about developing this eventually into a presentation
tool (i.e., "AbiShow").
No point running before we can walk, though. Let's get AbiDraw & static
SVG support before we work on animation. Besides, animation will probably
require (some) support for JavaScript.

You know best here, but probably best to save such text as XHTML.

It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and
wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again.
That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong.
