unfortunately, since svg is a web standard, it can reference external objects
that severely limits its adoption with people that spend all their days defending the idea of 'attack surface'. so google draw uses svg, and exports svg, but won't import svg. github won't inline svgs in md, etc
i don't personally like the svg design, its got a lot of weird corners and has the usual screwy relationship with the DOM. but having a fully neutral vector format would be such a massive win, by all means svgs if you can get it more widely adopted...maybe some sort of sanitized/sandboxed svg subset.
postscript should have been that format, but they were so focussed on driving rasterization that they made any kind of other interpretation (i.e. editing) impossible.
