Just because a first pass automated transformation isn't optimally scalable doesn't mean that future versions would have to be. My point is that (assuming svg works in core), that you could have a very painless transition to a format that would provide the possibility of incremental improvements in the future. Vector based UIs are the way of the future (microsoft is at least partly going there for longhorn, and for once I agree with them). -Tupshin
