Re: [Inkscape-devel] Notes on tracing

Personally I like to keep as much as possible as XML for "source", and then use various XSLT stylesheets to generate different versions. I've done HTML, PDF, RTF and others this way.

I'd LOVE to have it this way for tutorials (XML->SVG), but unfortunately the mix of text and Inkscape graphics is too hard to create in XSLT, mostly because XSLT can't get an idea of how tall or wide some element is going to be, but SVG needs absolute coordinates for positioning.
