I guess my tone comes from the frustrations over the years that I
spent thinking ( and talking) about the potential of SVG, with little
to show for it.  I truly wanted to help SVG reach its full potential,
but it is obvious that it isn't not going to happen any time soon.  If
you remember back to 2001 and Peter Sorotokin's element behavior (for
IE)  we were doing so very cool stuff with compound documents.  Yes, I
know it was an IE only solution and yes, some of the way it was done
was kludged together, but it was a demonstration of what can be done. 
It 4 long years from those heady days, and not much has been done to
utilize those dreams.  Instead, the W3C has become complacent with SVG
and is only concentrating on SVG on mobile devices.

Maybe I should lighten up a bit.  I guess we (the folks on the list
back in 2000-2001) were way ahead of the curve and need to give the
rest of the world to catch up.  I mean, what's all this fuss about
AJAX?  Weren't we doing that back then too?  And no one seemed to
notice?
