Hi Joseph, from my experience, XSLT is suited very well for certain parts of the optimization process(style attribute->presentation attribute, cleaning foreign namespaces ...) for things like changing path data, you might think about using Java/Batik, since there is already a nice dom implementation. for other things, i found string manipulation the best thing. so i think you should go for a mix of different small modules, that can be combined. the problem with javascript, is that there is no SVG implementation which lets you easily save the changed dom(because of security issues). so i guess your proposal to use java in combination with xslt is the best choise for the project. java also gives you cross platform support. as an alternative you might use libsvg in a c or c++ programm. also there are a lot of perl modules you could use, so perl could also be an option. cheers Holger ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
