We can't design a flawless new file format just theoretically, because as soon as we start implementing support for it, we shall struggle with all kinds of issues. And we clearly don't want revisions of specifications submitted to OASIS, don't we? :) This is why we need some (or two) applications as a testbed. Right now feature-wise Krita (trunk) and Cinepaint are close to being such testbeds. GIMP needs integration of GEGL first.
GEGL doesn't need integration into GIMP to be used as a testbed, in I am already using it as a testbed to develop my ideas for how to implement a layer tree structure. The GEGL gallery[1] are examples that are composited from XML as part of the documentation when building current GEGL CVS. Right now I'm working on a minimal compositing editor (a GTK+ based tree view similar to the one I had in bauxite[2] for editing the structure, but at least not initially painting.) When that is working, I'll start a second iteration of documenting the abilities this way of dealing with it provides. As well as ponder whether any of the features lost on the way from oxide[3]/the XCF2[4] proposal are too large losses. (mainly features related to animation/keyframing of properties and combination of compositions into timelines for NLE use). /Øyvind K. 1: http://pippin.gimp.org/gegl/gallery/ 2: http://pippin.gimp.org/bauxite/ 3: http://pippin.gimp.org/oxide/ 4: http://pippin.gimp.org/xcf2/ -- «The future is already here.
