Since a chart can be cut and pasted into Draw and then broken into individual components it can't be too hard to save directly in Draw format? Of course since it is easy to cut and paste to Draw then save to a Draw file, how vital is it to be able to save directly to a Draw file? I would rather see the effort put into svg support to improve interoperability with other applications that support svg.
