An image is not a replacement for text in the real world, only in Ian's  
current drafts. And where it is, SVG is ideal for having beautifully  
styled selectable interactive text that is lightweight and easy to create  
(or heavyweight and bloated if you use something like inkscape, but still  
easy to create and easy to automagically optimise to something  
lightweight).

Which is why I disagree thoroughly with Chris' assertion here.
