I also would favour this format because it is supported by a lot other program
like
Framemaker (for Unix!) and is the most convenient file format in this respect.
And with the new object graphics it should be quiet easy to implement it. The only

problem may be that some metafile drivers do not support every feature- thus
they (RSI) should restrict themselves to the primitives like lines, ellipsoids,
boxes, etc.
but not very sophisticated features in the metafile drivers
