	A standard used in vector graphics packages would be really useful - preferably Illustrator (.ai) or AutoCad (.dxf) as they are fairly transportable.

		My idea was a sort of "osmbabel" which would convert .osm to a range of
		formats,  written in C/C++ for maximum portability (e.g. windows users
		could just run a .exe) - are there any other formats except shapefile and
		.img which would be useful to have?
