Does the w3c have some sort of .jar-like standard for creating svg bundles that include both a main svg and associated bitmaps and other linked content all-in-one? That seems like it would be the ideal solution.
Not that I know of, but note there's an 'inkjar' functionality buried in Inkscape itself for handling jar-based file collections. I believe this works pretty well, it's just poorly advertised. If you're interested in working on this, it could probably benefit from gaining better exposure in the File menu UI.
There is also the potential to use XOP packaging. It basically wraps the whole set up as a multipart MIME message style file.
[ 1119540 ] XML-binary Optimized Packaging (XOP) support http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=1119540&group_id=93438&atid=604309
Bulia has expressed reservations about the usefulness of such packaging.
I think the main problem is that although the W3C has XOP up, no SVG viewer implementors have adopted it.
