True, and they never will if you put
it like this.

Yes and no. From what I've experienced
it is very platform and OS dependent.

To rephrase, if:
You look at markup as a wrapper layer
which shields its data content (in time). 

Then: 
Is anyone aware of approaches
for raster graphics with an analog approach
to XML?(general mechanism, platform
and vendor neutral)

This IPI, IPI-IIF (ISO/IEC 12087) stuff
sounded to be along similar lines, 
"transparent data exchange" etc.
I will check it out further.
