I dont know why but I woke up this morning thinking about this vote (probably the bad democratic shape of France ...)
I wish as much as everyone does on this list that SVG becomes THE graphic Standard on the web but I am just kind of sceptical about this "vote" thing : * First : I cant see why democracy rules would apply in such a setting MS calls to vote might hide other purposes ... * Second : Assuming (as it seems) that there is a more or less imminent war between MS and Adobedia around RIA technologies, I cant see why MS would bundle ASV in IE and thus introduce some kind of dependency to Adobe. * Third : However if Adobe finally decides to completely abandon SVG, then including SVG support in IE maybe makes sense strategically ? This would explain why Adobe is so silent about their intent about SVG.
