That's my gripe...SVG is open. Yet Xara and Illustrator (and other vector programs) ignore it entirely. It's MIDI for resolution independence and nothing except Inkscape even gives it any thought. While I don't think SVG format is as good as how Xara handles things like feathering (SVG does it very VERY differently, as 'blur'), I think Xara could benefit from adjusting it's engine to accommodate SVG standard. It's web friendly, it's non proprietary (like PDF), works on web and basically how Xara's engine works would only need minor tweaking in a sense.

But hey, I don't run a business so what do I know...*cough*MIDI&WAVEISSUPPORTEDBYEVERYEQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERANDSOFTWAREVENDORANDEVERYONEISHAPPY*co ugh*

Did I mention that business hurts the artist?
