@ikskuh -I do not see any mention of layers or grouping in the specification (unless it went by some other terminology I missed in my skim). In the blog post you said you wanted to avoid having an "authoring" file and a "redistributable" version. I am far from an artist but have hacked out a few .svg sketches and layers/grouping are a requirement for creating new content.

I think you got me wrong then. I WANT authoring files and redistributables to differ. Nobody should send SVG, xcf, psd files to the consumers. We use PNG or JPEG for pixel graphics, why not send of TinyVG instead of SVG, but use SVG as the source file.

This is what i've done for a lot of test files until i had the TinyVG text form ready.

Also, we should not edit graphic files in a code editor. We have better tools for that

Whoops. Well then sounds great.
