yes, note, person, institution and web resource.

well actually, I started doing to export to SVG because of his request
in the last dev-meeting ;-) .. thinking that it would be a good idea
to have an "image" of the topicmaps to use in presentations, etc, and
I chose SVG since I think is a more flexible format, that can be saved
into any other format with a graphic app (gimp etc.)

ok, nice ... I'll check it

ok

ok, why not? :-D

That would be great, if you can test it and give feedback :-)
