Valid point, but for displaying in a browser, you want a different 
format, png or jpg.  xcf was never intended for such use and there will 
likely not be support for it in browsers.  It's like trying to run c 
source code.  It's not intended to run, it's intended to be compiled and 
the generated binary run.
