Currently Krita saves using global coordinate. I think they are arguments against/in favor of each, but in my opinion, the one in favor of global outweight the local one, I think it's much much easier to work with only one global frame than with frame a frame per group. > Third, what is the range of the opacity property?

We should probably mention that the default range of all value is 0.0-1.0 (unless the spec says that a given parameter is an exception). > Finally, what's the status of the text element currently?

There is currently nothing defined. But I am thinking that the choice is: * the <text> element of ODF * or since we plan to allow to have SVG layers, if the svg text element is sufficient for openraster need, it could be possible to save text as a SVG layer -- Cyrille Berger</body></html>
