Illustrator adds in lots of extra stuff using namespaces, and
sometimes shoves lots of Illustrator editing data in CDATA sections...
But valid SVG is valid SVG. A conforming viewer just ignores all the extra
stuff. AbiWord, AbiDraw and AbiShow would share some common code, but
AbiShow will have to be far more sophisticated than the others!

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.
