Not in the slightest. Postscript (eg Adobe Illustrator files) is, like
the proposed scenario, usually just text, but sometimes has ASCII-fied
binary or compressed text portions. Postscript usually uses base85
encoding, though. SVG is XML. Have you heard of "typewriter art"? It was
later reborn as "ASCII art" when computers became popular. Many older
Unix image formats are text based. Xfig saves as text. The xpm files are
syntactically pure C code.

With computers, stating the problem correctly is often 90% to seeing the
solution. (And the 10% of the time its finding out the problem cannot be
solved.)
