Freehand and CorelDRAW?

Illustrator is the most popular vector graphics package in the continental United States, yes. But in Indonesia, at least, CorelDRAW (most of Java and Sumatra) and Freehand (in Jakarta and other major cities) rule. I don't know about the rest of Asia, but I suspect similar. At the very least one cannot doubt that these two apps are popular.

Supporting them would be good, methinks.

CorelDRAW in particular. Especially since CorelDRAW's basic interface was inspired by the original Acorn Archimedes version of Xara X, which some say also inspired Inkscape. It would suggest that the learning curve moving from CorelDRAW to Inkscape would be slightly flatter.
