I think its one of those things that we define, and if this is the best
solution, then this is the solution :)

I think the most important part is to basically just get
interoperability down.

So, then my question is where to host the code? Should it be a new
project on the sf.net inkscape page, or now under Open Clip Art
Library's CVS?

Thoughts?
