We are dealing with uploaders complaining about this at least once a week. In addition, the Wikimedia renderer installation disables external references completely, because it would be a security threat - and path-handling in a multi-million-file enviroment would be a nightmare: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3537 If you find something, could you tell us over at Wikipedia?

Use relative URL in SVG and allow multifile upload on clip art website? Open and save to directories instead of files in Inkscape? Will Inkscape use standart windows open and save dialogs? 6. Warn after upload on clip art website? BTW, i now try to update inkscape from old version to 0.46 on windows, and after automatic uninstalling previus version "uninst.exe" was not deleted; 0.46 installer warn me about not empty directory, and after manual deleting whole directory (my mistake) installer cannot to write "inkscape.exe". Is it bug? 5. Use relative URL in SVG and allow multifile upload on clip art website? Open and save to directories instead of files in Inkscape?

Starting something new would either be specific to Inkscape (the opposite of interoperable) or takes years to standardize and deploy. On the other hand, data: URLs work today and are a means to achieve "MHTML" today interoperably (though base64-encoding the raster is not optimal). @Anonymous: Though this is an interesting idea, I’m really looking for solutions that would help existing implementations and the existing spec.
