Well said - but unless we try, we'll never know...but between VML, XAML/WVG, this isn't a huge task for them and would help dispel some of the distaste for "standards non support". "Standards are like toothbrushes - everyone knows they need one, but do not want to use someone else's..." - Rick

My reaction was not to react because it sound utterly logic and I therefore thought " yes of course native SVG(T) support in IE8 would be good...", and yes also ".. if its using the standard.." but that's true for every implementation. I have nothing against MS, but the problem-point in your plan is the question "who want to lead the charge?". If people reacted like me, they would've thought: "er... well, it's only little me, and I do not want to be the tiny Don Quichotte charging the giant windmills of MS". If MS do not think themselves that implementing this (or any other ) W3C standard in their next products, would the/any community have the clout to have them change their minds...? ____________________________ Barend Köbben International Institute for Geo-information Sciences and Earth Observation (ITC) PO Box 6, 7500AA Enschede (The Netherlands) ph: +31 (0)53 4874253; fax: +31 (0)53 4874335 _____________________________ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
