As a side note, the best thing about SVG is that it should
not be created in an editor (if a vector graphic from an editor
is required, PDF or EPS do better since implementations support
all of the features of the above formats -- simply because they
do not parse them), but generated from data using XSL stylesheets.

There is a paper by Nikolai Grigoriev of RenderX, prepared for RenderX
vendor presentation at XML Europe 2003, which outlines this approach.
While it is written with bias toward presentation of a new feature,
it explains benefits of this approach in detail.
