I just raised this idea with Mark, Jane S and Malcolm. Mark mentioned to me that he would look into getting what is produced (by a third party) into SVG or something similar. The reason I like svg is that we can then use xml2po and be able to translate it. As an aside, graphics formats currently suck. The company I work for (Userful) has to produce our graphics in about 7 different formats for our customers to use.
