... Please tell me which DTP is using a standards based file format?

... being an open source project, the source code is freely available,

Yes, but the question is about the format not the program. Source code is not the same as documentation or, in this case, documentation of a data format.

+ Scribus can work with SVG but not yet ODF.  The SVG support in Scribus:

        http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=scribus-svg

+ Inkscape can also work with SVG, both standard and deviation from standard, but not yet ODF:

+ Karbon14, while technically a drawing tool, can be used for DTP and does support SVG and ODF.

+ OOo Draw, supports ODF but has a lot of room for improvement with regards to SVG.




SVG is partially incorporated into ODF, which makes good re-use of existing, best-of-breed standards. Eventually, SVG will be fully integrated into the format:
