RE: SVG support



I was wondering why SVG is not the native DIA format, it's 
XML and the chosen open standard for vector graphics...

Because:
      - SVG is only graphics, no semantics, no 
handles/connection points.
      - SVG was still very experimental even back in 2000 IIRC,
when dia was already a healthy project.
You're right ;-)

That said, SVG inter-operability is a very important point 
for us (for both
import and export). If you have the time and inclination to work in
improving SVG I/O, this is heartily welcome!
I'm currently looking in the svg specific files in DIA 0.91, if i have something, can i just mail the diff to 
this mailing list ?
