Hi Alexandro,

Sure, this is what I meant with external usage. Their would
only be the SVG or original file format used inside ODF, which
of course requires stable SVG import, export and display possibilities.
This is also a BIG todo on the OASIS TC and W3C, some of the previous
conversation and hurdles can have been documented as well as being
part of ODF-Next:

Then again maybe you are more familiar than me since it seems to be
mostly handled by Sun's Michael Brauer.
I don't think that there currently is an active discussion about this
topic. My point of view on
this is that svg is the format of choice for low level vector graphics.
But ODF is an office
document format. Which is way more high level. If you have an editor
that supports all the
nice feature of svg, including animations media and all, I don't see how
we can put a
user interface around this which reattains all features and allows
editing by a typical office
user.
I'm not saying that we should not use svg in ODF for cliparts. But
currently is there an
open source svg renderer with a good enough feature set that could be
pluged into
an Office application? Feature wise I only know about the implementation
from Mozilla and
Webkit. Both are not very easy to integrate seamlessly and webkit still
has some issues
with non closed source parts.
Since I think we all agree that we need the support of svg cliparts even
if we make the
ODF format more svg like, we should separate this discussion.
Regards,
Christian
