Hi

Sounds like a good idea. I guess my question is how fast is the format developing? That is, per the

          Limitations
          Colors only. Support for gradients, color schemes, patterns, textures is expected for
          version 0.8

Wondering if it makes sense to start if 1.0 is due soon. Thoughts?
