A common standard would be useful, but OpenVG doesn't look<br>
like "ready soon". On the declarative side, there's also SVG..<br>

Seems I've got to qualify that remark somewhat - apart from some<br>
commercial/closed-source implementations, there is also a open<br>
source ANSI C one (implemented on top of OpenGL, so it isn't<br>
quite the same as direct OpenGL hardware support, but it offers<br>
the same API and might be a good target for a Haskell binding..):<br>

<br>
Also, an OpenVG backend for Cairo, which seems to have so many backends that it might be the safest user-level choice?<br>
