That's good news! A complete reimplementation of the SVG export would be even better.

Currently, the exported SVG is unnecessarily complex, and it is not possible to specify important options such as "convert text to outlines" or "link to images". The lack of these options and the bad quality of the exported SVG is the reason why I am currently experimenting with Illustrator and Inkscape for creation of SVG graphics for the web. Unfortunately, that is, because I much prefer Xara as an editor.
