Well, the spec. specifies the above, so I suppose it was meant for that. Althought I may have prefered a first version with lower requirements (no animation, interaction, filters, scripting) aiming at simple static vector graphics in a first step. But obviously, the authors wanted to make a concurrent for Flash at the first try. You can judge a file format by one implementation, but I suppose the complexity of the spec. didn't helped making a performant viewer. Now, modern applications are going the complex route, because modern computers are quite powerful, and optimization isn't the first priority (getting things right *is* the first priority, and that's fine!). > Not so.

I share your interest for Art Nouveau, so your illustrations are very appealling for me. Some remarks, which I make public because some of them are of general interest. - Your file isn't 75k, at least in the version I downloaded (131KB). Either you added lot of stuff, or you were referencing a compressed version. - You should make a svgz of your file. Not everybody has DSL, even now... I have it, but I still think of the times where I had a 56K modem... - Your buttons with text should also have a pointer-events="none" property. Having a text selection cursor over them is confusing, and I hesitated to click on them. Other remarks, less general: - I like to put a capital to Internet. It is still a unique network, not a generic term. Similarly, I put a capital to Web in this context. - You should perhaps put more dots at the end of your sentences... - "SVG is open source and still in its infancy, because it has no built-in security features it must be used only as a back end solution" seems hard to read, I would add a new sentence: "SVG is open source and still in its infancy. Because it has no built-in security features, it must be used only as a back end solution" - "superior effect then traditional" is maybe "superior effect than traditional". (A quite common error from English speaking people. Well, I have my bunch of errors of non-native English speaker ;-) ) - "concieved"? Shouldn't be "conceived"? We should have a spellchecker for XML... I only make these remarks to help you. I see that file as a resume, and a common saying is that spell errors are killer here... -- Philippe Lhoste -- (near) Paris -- France -- Professional programmer and amateur artist -- http://Phi.Lho.free.fr -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ------------------------ Yahoo!
