SVG support status
Currently OpenOffice.org supports exporting to SVG format officially, though with some limitations to be resolved[1]. The SVG import filter[2], however, is still under development and requires the Java Runtime Environment to be installed.
It is anticipated that as SVG and SVG filters evolve, users will be able to use Draw to edit the large scale collection of SVG samples from Open Clip Art Library.
