Adobe, Macromedia and Microsoft are all W3C members. They pay fees that pay wages that feed engineers, administrators, landlords, chefs and airline pilots who manage the specification infrastructure that produces the specifications that you have partially adopted and advocate. Microsoft, Macromedia and Adobe adopt and advocate the specifications too, in their own (partial) ways to suit their own interests. Are you shocked or do you find that peculiar? But how does whatever other people choose to do prevent you from doing whatever you want to do? In Adobe's case, they've even prototyped a user agent to help you with the early stages of your development free of charge. Didn't they? I'm not sure I understand what Adobe, Macromedia or Microsoft has done that is against the law. Or are you simply saying that you believe those companies have some kind of obligation to adopt and/or promote SVG in a particular way? If so, why? /\/\arvin ------------------------ Yahoo!
