[Qgis-user] Looking for a suggestion on a vector format

[Jesse McGraw]

All,
   Before I go too far down the wrong path perhaps you can help me with 
a suggestion on a vector format to use for a project of mine:

I'm to looking to basically re-create various Instrument Approach 
Procedure plates (see here 
<http://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/1513/00375il28r.pdf> for an example for 
San Francisco International - SFO ) from a database via a perl script 
and display a number of them as vector overlays in an existing QGIS project

What would be a good format to use for this purpose?

I'm imagining something like a QGIS project file, but I want it to 
contain to contain all of the various bits of information internally 
(coordinates, names, styling, icons etc.) and not have to query anything 
external so each file is a stand-alone unit.

Ideally all of the coordinates would be real world lon/lat so no 
transformation would be required.  Bonus points if the format is openly 
standardized and easy to work with

DWG/DXF?  SVG?

Thanks,
   Jesse
