I am not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve. Could you explain why it is important for you to mix relative and absolute coordinates? Is it for an optimization purpose? Thanks, Marc --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, Martin Rusnak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello all, >

Andreas, I totally agree with this. To clarify a bit, I don't mean that we should focus only on the Mobile SVG side. I only believe that most companies interested in SVG in the Bay Area are interested mainly in the Mobile side. But the Bay Area is not the world! Marc --- In svg-developers@ya
