I agree.  For all the reasons you gave which are... reasonable.  

Historical aside:  

That would get us almost back to the level of SGML 
when the CALS fellows worked out the 9600 tape formats for 
packaging documents and Charles was working on the *strange 
name that was the box japanese meals came in* standard.  

But: 

"Graphics 
     In raster (PNG, GIF, JPG) and vector (SVG, VML, PGML) formats. "

Include X3D.  Coming along nicely now.  Sure do want to see 
real time 3D animations of the deep namespaces.
