well I mentioned the self contained format because, from what I recall of past discussions on the subject, embedding bitmaps directly into a SVG file seemed to lead to very bad performance. If it is not the case, then of course keeping the default format a SVG file will be great. the discussion was "linked vs embeded": http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14552578
I'm not aware of any performance problems. I routinely work with multi-megabyte SVGs with embedded bitmaps and they work acceptably. Anyone has a use case?
