Yes ok you got a point there. But like with graphics, if you are the 
trailblazer that means most people will not be able to gaze at the tail 
you are blazing like now with .svg which as I noticed from remarks in

When the majority of people will have problems opening these files we 
are doing something against our own mission statement.
