Hi Josh.

Yes, there is interest. In fact, I recently fixed some base issues to  
get our exporter going with the latest JavaFX. That was done in fair  
bit due to end user contact... that is, people who wanted to be using  
it asked about getting things fixed and gave some feedback, testing,  
etc.

Some user used Twitter to point out this blog post:
http://lucasjordan.blogspot.com/2009/06/inkscape-and-javafx-almost- 
there.html

The corresponding initial fixes were under bug # 253869
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/253869

Using the test case from that blog post, I also figured out what the  
problem with the gradients are. If someone can enter specific bugs  
for those then I can probably get them fixed for 0.47.

And in regards to .FXZ export itself there is definite interest. I  
think as a packaged-up container format there are some nice things  
that can be leveraged post 0.47. Among other things we've been  
wanting to add in an internal "media manager" to handle external  
files (bitmap images, ICC profiles, style sheets, etc). Including  
conceptual needs and such for .FXZ will probably help with the  
general solution also.

(BTW, I noticed Martin Brehovsky commented on that bug after it was  
fixed)
