I can imagine scenarios where this functionality would be useful. E.g.
when editing a raster image (e.g. of a mainboard) and placing
explnanations on it. You could then upload the new image as SVG with
the original raster image embedded and only the arrows and
explanations in SVG format. This would be much easier to translate
into other languages than adding the explanations directly into the
raster image.
