Good versus best

I'm creating a presentation and ended up looking for some particular clip art. After a brief look around the web, I came across Open Clip Art, which features a huge library of free clip art under a permissive license.

The problem? The clip art is in scalable vector graphics (SVG) format, which can't be used with the most popular free office suite in the world, OpenOffice.org.

Does it matter if you're creating a collection of clip art in the "best" format, if nobody can use it (or at least not without a significant hassle)?
