The problem with the SPICE format is that a *picture* is precisely what
most people want, and constructing one from SPICE format is a lot of work.
I suspect that the thing to use is a simple line-drawing format, the
simpler the better, so that people can easily interface it to their own
particular (peculiar? ;-)) graphics output devices. The weakness of all
the spiffy formats already in existence is that they are non-trivial to
interpret if you don't already have software that handles them. The
thing to do is to think stupid, not spiffy.
