What can I say... Oh my god comes first to mind. It looks like I got dragged
away with all this SVG thing and kinda temporary forgot there may be better
format out there. Since this very part of my svg is pretty static and has a
very limited interactivity and all, it does sound daft to use SVG for that.
Lesson tought! As for Batik, my project is in ASP.NET in a MSSQL db context,
so I'll skip on Batik and use the .NET native support to produce piccies out
of my db. And for the mask bit, FF does not support it yet, so I'll skip on
that too but I think I can do without it (just using an image tag or
something, I'll think more of it).
Thanks for the heads-up!
PS: on second thought, I remembered why I decided to go for an all SVG option.
I really think that the future of internet relies on a clear separation of
the data and the layout, the layout generation having to be made client-side
(for various reasons) rather than server side. For this reason, I decided to
use xslt as much as possible, especially on SVG's. Even if the
transformations have to be made server side because of a lack of browser
support (or a partial support only, especially when it comes to xslt+svg),
using this approach made me feel I'd be ready for the hypothetic time when
browsers become more... supportive. I guess a more balanced approach was
necessary :-)
