Francis, Paul and all the other individuals who like to spread an offensive tone in this list. Your mails aren't really constructive contributions. I would friendly like to ask you to stop bothering other people with your individual opinions and offending other peoples by bashing their work. If your interest is, that SVG is only a pure static vector graphics format than why are you still on this list. There are numerous applications out there, including two major web browsers (Opera and Mozilla) that exactly do what you want. No need to stay on this list. For the others that want more (like me and many other on this list) - we would like to go one towards animation, interactivity and application development - and we believe that SVG, in conjunction with other web standards can be a viable and useful base technology for web application development - no, it's not the solution for everything, but it is a good base technology for people that don't want to use and or build yet another plugin, activex-control, or java-applet for yet another proprietary technology and file formats. And last not least: maybe people like building applications with lightweight tools and are happy with ECMAScript, DOM and SVG. Those people may not have the time and skills to do full-blown Java or .net applications. And maybe other people do care about platform and browser independency - no, XAML is not yet platform independent and therefore (not yet?) an alternative. So, if people feel comfortable designing SVG GUI, why offending them? Maybe its not as comfortable already, as we'd like it to be - but we are getting there. And why bashing W3C if they are working on a specification with features the community out there asked them for? If the community did not ask them for interactivity, animation and network support - do you think the W3C would work on it?
