From what I gather from the discussion, no consensus was reached on the
SVG representation. Perhaps it is best, like Bulia said, to first make it working the 'ugly' simple way,

When are you going to get started on this? (basically when is school over) I seriously have most of the code done for getting this working "right", but unfortunately it's on a branch that is severely out of date with the codebase (distributed SCM is fun!) -- I think I'm going to have to hand merge it. But, I do have a 9 hour flight for LGM coming up, and two batteries... so I could probably get it done by the end of LGM -- would that impede your progress?
With what you have and it working "right", would it store parameters in the way Johan described for it to work in the short term? Or is it really right and stored otherwise? (just curious)
Also, I would like as part of this if we could introduce attributes (in the inkscape namespace) for the pressure and tilt of the pen. I think this would be something very powerful for the path effects to use, and is currently data we're throwing away.
That sounds fantastic! This would be needed for us to do the skeletal strokes and such correctly (meaning pressure and tilt are retained for changing "brushes" or patterns). Plus I'm sure Bulia will come up with other ideas no one has else has thought of. ;)
