I'm curious what tools are being used for SVG authoring, and for the 
conversion from SVG to other formats? Long ago, I did technical 
illustrations under CorelDraw while writing manufacturing automation 
software, and wish there were better vector-based drawing under Linux 
(for free of course). SVG I think holds a lot of promise in this area, 
but it doesn't seem to be sufficiently supported yet.
