Hmmm... No, I don't think so.
The question is how do I scan in a sketch or save an image of my Field
data without it becoming Raw data, even though it is not being converted
to CBMR form? The paper sketch is Field data, so what is a scanned sketch?

True, but XML is only used to reference images in their native format, not
contain that data. There is a Binary XML push on but I don't think that's
where CaveXML is going.

Yes, but the Raw data definition specifies a format: character-based,
machine-readable.
