SVG is revolutionary. An image can be clickable, animated, -- and most of all, modifiable, this is an open standard. The implementation varies, though. Seemingly, the most crucial elements of an image specification, such as the sizes and what to do when any type of fonts are not available at specified size. IE in particular does not support the format.
Once an SVG image is up there, that is so valuable since the language can be set freely. If a map is in French, the labels can be changed into English just as freely as it can be, even with a text editor. No one can deprive us from the right to modify the files.
The SVG format is specified in XML. DTD is the specification language that sets the SVG format. Just as HTML is set by the DTD language, the supposed style of the image files are set -- discussed and distributed by W3C group.
This open standard won't hurt the industry -- SVG is not for fixing photos, nor to put an effect on JPEG image. SVG is a scalar, not a raster format, most suitable for drawing diagrams.
