Response to: finessing the hard part - comics = sequence = layout
ComicsML as it stands does sequence, with panels appearing in the sequence the creator intends the reader to read them, but it doesn't handle any sort of layout beyond this implied linearity yet. Determining how and how much ComicsML will handle layout will be an interesting puzzle. Personally, I predict it will end up working hand-in-hand with other grammars (you already mentioned SVG) if someone actually wants to use a ComicsML to render a comic from scratch. We'll see what happens!
