Hi,

What leads you to assume that your .ai files are databases?

They're computer readable and they have individual objects that can  
be accessed... but what file hasn't?

At what stage of processing would they, in your eyes, stop being  
databases?

Say you never saved your .ai file, you just loaded .osm (assume for a  
moment there was some .osm importer for Illustrator) and five hours  
later saved the result as .png (or printed it onto film and sent it  
off to the print shop). Is there a derivative database in this  
picture and if yes, where? If you save as .pdf - any difference?

Bye
Frederik
