Hi,

As far as I can understand, it may be useful mainly for standardisation (Open raster ?) and inter-operability : work with other "pen based" applications, but also with other XML-based and web technologies, like SVG.
Maybe one day it may be used with _javascript_ and SMIL, and allow some network use...

But it's a lot of work, InkML is mostly unknown today, and I can imagine it's useful in theory, but there is no pratical use today.
That's a paradox : Standards becomes useful only with implementations ;)

If you feel interested, Maybe W3C give some subventions...

As a MyPaint, Gimp and Inkscape user, I prefered to share this info, but it's not a feature request... maybe something to keep in mind ;)

Cheers,
--yagraph

This is news to me, thanks for bringing it up!

Martin, do you think we could replace our strokemaps in MyPaint with
this format, or at least import from/export to it? This would give us
a well-defined data format that we could put into OpenRaster
documents.
Interesting stuff. Replacing the MyPaint strokemaps with it would mean to
rethink the whole concept; the strokemap is based on black-and-white
bitmaps, not on vectors.

It sure would be possible to save stroke information, either alongside with
the current strokemap, or in place of it, with some effort.  But what for? 
Anyone got plans/ideas how to use this information?
