I totally agree!  I think you're preaching to the converted around here. 
  ;o)  It goes past audio and video, of course; open document formats 
(OASIS Open Office, DocBook, XHTML, or even ASCII plain text) are also 
vitally important for any document you still want to be able to read ten 
years after it was created.

I'll see if I can add anything sensible to the discussion on the SVG 
mailing list in a bit...

Cheers
