This layout of this file is the most important of the lot; since it
defines the format of the whole drawing, the layout needs to remain
the same in all future formats (sardine, octopus, whatever).
Should it be a YAML file? (future formats may discard YAML
altogether - YAML may be discarded by the YAML developers)
What should it contain? At the least it needs the same level of
detail as an SGML !DOCTYPE declaration - An identifying label and a
URI for the spec.
I would be tempted to put format specific information (such as
default units) in another file altogether.
