Humph: when I was 32 and using a Mac Performa 475 SuperPaint was a "not
so super"
program for doing things that by today's standards look largely like a
complete and utter waste
of time.
I don't know what the new "SVG" thang should called,
and I am slobbering in excitement at the thought of it,
but, Please nothing with "paint" in it, or a comparative or superlative
adjective:
"Bestest Ever Paint"
because anything with a comparative or superlative in its name is going to
be superseded sooner or later,
and "paint" . . .

Just back from a wonderful 3 day break hill-walking with my wife,
[anyone thinking of an inexpensive hill-walking trip in
some stunning scenery (Bulgarian mountains) contact me]
and slightly "murh" as it is the end of a holiday, and I find the news
about the new SVG thang in my in-box: Wow; fantastic news.

By the way, this new control type, Could allow easier implementation
of image libraries, where you store a single instance of a bitmap

That is the way in which Xara and other programs manages
vector symbols and bitmap images:

Wonderful.
When I was a kid we called that SuperPaint (ah, the wonders of Silicon
Beach Software).
Nice to see the spirit alive and well....
