hm - thats quite an ambitious goal to mimic CorelDraw, Inkscape and Illustrator in SVG. These are big drawing apps that where big corporations (or projects in case of Inkscape) spent multiple men- year of development.
Don't expect any miracles from SVG, it would be a lot of work to mimic those big three apps. Simpler drawing apps in SVG are doable, as others demonstrated, but it still is a lot of work and requires a lot of experience in coding, to get a maintainable code-base. Regarding your question: both text and XML based data-types would work fine. If you want to do XML processing within the database, the XML database would be best. If you just want storage and retrieval, the text-format would also work. Or you could just use plain files.
