OK.  YOU can make SVG that is easily translatable, but if you had a
footprint tool that used it because so much content is available from other sources,
you might get the outlined content very often and have to convert it
to stroked lines.  Having a translator would enable using SVG, but
using SVG would not allow importing-to-PCB of any kind of drawn trace
until you created an outline-filling-in routine so you have the
RS-274X compatible stroked line primitives.

Going down that road further, it might be less work to replace or complement the current track drawing stuff with a generic SVG drawing library. Then every layout is also a valid SVG file and can be edited with other applications as well. The tricky part is keeping the connection to the schematic, of course.
