There is also PSD but that is not a great choice either and one I thinke we'd prefer not to recommend. Rather than mentioning a future possible ideal format I'd like to mention MNG, which although far from perfect for all graphics tasks (print graphics). This is less than ideal but still a small improvement over PNG because at least you get to keep your layers intact (and gimp does already have some support for MNG). I hope you will keep MNG in consideration as it might be useful until a more appropriate format is developed.
