WMF? I'm sorry - nice idea but NO!!! I'm not even remotely interested.
Better idea: focus on the subset of SVG required to render MathML...
now why would *that* be useful?
And even that's not enough. At the minimum we need support for Bezier
curves, otherwise we'll just look pathetic. People will complain about
lack of Bezier curves the way they complain about the lack of tables in
AbiWord 1.0!
Frank, who really thinks Abi needs a nice set of curves...

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.
