[CREATE] OpenRaster vs. FXG? :)

[Andy Fitzsimon]

Totally agree.


We need to help as much as we can to improve their format out in the  
open.

A good motivation is to get as much public prior art into their spec  
as possible to ensure this thing is free for all to use.

I haven't read anything yet but does someone know if the path and  
style data is similar to svg?
