+    The new image format will implement the [scRGB](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrgb) colorspace.

-  * Add a performance/conformance suite for the vector backends.
     One goal would be to aim to make the output file size competitive to other generators (e.g. gs).
     Conformance could be checked by running the test output through various validators:
