Actually I think Mr Sujoy could use b) as a only once process, since he said he's migrating from svg to geotools, so it makes sence to convert all his data once and to work on a datastore from there. Sujoy, I think it could be easier for you to write a Java program that performs the conversion, instead of an XSLT (at least it would be for me :) Say, you can write a program that loads your SVG data into a DOM and then write to a properties file. I say to write a java program because I wouldn't know how to convert an SVG path to GML coordinates using xslt, but may be its possible. And yes, as a starting point you can write to a single .properties file if you don't want to deal with the complexities of Gml. We have a properties file DataStore the demo/properties. The format used to store the geometries is simply WKT, that you get obtain from the JTS Geometry once you managed to parse the SVG path or other element into a JTS Polygon, LineString, etc. So, once you have the features in properties, it will be very easy to export them to a more robust storage like a postgis database or even shapefiles. my 2c.
