It's not about adoption, it's about tech. Just ask any Flash, PDF, or ASV developer if they would like to communicate with the HTML, and if they like the way it works right now. Plugins suck for integrated development, that's a fact. The only reason they're used is because there's currently no real alternative. Mozilla is building that. > Admittedly a built in module would be far superior to a plugin-- but the > deployment schedule is not fast enough-- either it needs to be part of the > main build or it needs to be a plugin-- but FF 0.8 is not what I want to > use-- SVG or no. No one wants to use FF 0.8, but people sure want to use FF 1.0. I don't get your point about deployment schedules, it wouldn't be faster as a plugin, and building it as part of FF means that when it is turned on millions of users will get instant access to SVG directly in their browser, and it will keep increasing until IE is out of the market, or starts to play catch up. -- Robin Berjon ------------------------ Yahoo!
