        I just had a cool idea.  What if we invented an image file format
which was simply a collection of images that were to be superimposed on
each other.  Store them all into one big zip, kind of like an OpenOffice
document.  Of course, it would have to store transparency information
and image positions and so forth, and a reader would have to understand
various kinds of image formats.  Is this what OpenOffice Draw can do?

        Maybe this idea is nothing.  Maybe what I am describing is simply
what you can already do by creating an OpenOffice document or OpenOffice
Draw and pasting images all over it.  Too bad you can't insert a PDF
file in the middle of an OpenOffice document.  You'd have to convert it
first to ps then eps like Art said.

The GIMP XCF format does this and more.
