On a more technical subject. After reading the spec, it sounds more that FXG 
is competing with SVG. On might note, that it would perfectly be possible to 
export from Krita/gimp/mypaint/cinepaint/gegl/whatever to SVG/FXG and use that 
as an interexchange/archiving file format.

But neither FXG or SVG are adequate for a file format that is mainly for raster 
images. They are too complicated for the purpose and don't offer some of the 
features that are needed (such as fallbacks).
