SVG support via QuickTime/Core Image
The use of QuickTime/Core Image as a file translation 'gateway' is a fantastic feature; it's very valuable to have existing apps pickup file format support without any effort, offering consistent, predictable support.
As the SVG file format grows in popularity (and relevance) it would be extremely useful to see support migrate simply from WebKit/Safari as a viewer, to QuickTime/Core Image to provide read/write capabilities across a broad spectrum of apps.
At the most basic level it would be very useful indeed, to have Preview open SVG files and allow easy export to bitmap formats, just as it does now for PDF and EPS files.
SVG files are spreading online and currently Mac users have limited ability to deal with the files at present. While a number of graphics apps support for the format, day-to-day users have little opportunity to use the files beyond the browser.
