I am not (yet) at the point where I can truly appreciate TikZ but my  
situation is different in that the magnum opus is being uploaded  
under a GNU FreeDocLic for other people to download and, maybe, use  
in their own classes.

So the main reason I am thinking of letting go of Intaglio is  
precisely because TikZ would allow me not to use pdf files for  
including and printing as well as Intaglio files for editing—of which  
I have already hundreds which, by itself, already creates a keeping- 
track problem.

In other words, the idea is that including TikZ figures might  
simplify things for the users in that there would just be the LaTeX  
files. But then that might make further editing harder for the users.

What do you think?
