This isn't spec'ed further out, except perhaps a few more examples done
with pen in a notebook. and thus is not implemented yet. But it can be
seen as an evolution of oxide[1], xcf2[2] or the current XML processing
tree format in GEGL CVS [3].

This is only the core XML representation of a tree of layers. Further
specing would also entail things like deciding if groups of layers even
should be allowed in a baseline, what set of operations needs to be
available etc. For now I might even just continue using <gegl> as the
root level element.
