Re: [Inkscape-user] is one svg document per document enough?

I always felt that svg, with multiple pages would be great as a replacement for other multi page layout formats (more secure than pdf, more easily manipulatable than doc), but I'm sure there are many implementation details of both of those formats that I am neglecting that are irreplaceable to the academic and business applications that may have special uses for them.
Inkscape's broader purpose is as a drawing program, so mixing both drawing and text document editing into a single application would muddle the interface and functionality.
That would be docBook, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook, an XML way of laying out documents. I don't think Inkscape should do this too.

aehhm, DocBook is something very different from what i am targeting at because it supports dynamic and themed layout instead of sticking to fix layout. it is a real meta-format. i'd rather go with PageMaker. if you mention DocBook because of multi-pages, as said, one can embed multiple svg documents into one xml/svg document.

DocBook can also do static, plain-vanilla documents. The question is whether or not Inkscape should do more than just create pictures. I don't think so. There are plenty of other FLOSS that can do this. DocBook if you want to stay in XML, Scribus for for desktop publishing, AbiWord or Open Office Word for word processing. The question is: What do you want to do with multiple SVGs in one file?
