This is good to hear! Thanks for letting us know that you work for Adobe now. 
We 
certainly know you well from your PDF and SVG inside PDF expertise.

As I understand it, Mars will be a plugin to Acrobat Reader and full version. 
The same like 
it was with the image viewer plugin. This is sad. Are there plans to make it a 
fixed 
component of Acrobat, so that users don't have to download another plugin to 
view SVG 
content inside Acrobat?

yes, interesting. But, the SVG support is not really mentioned at the project 
page. It 
mentions XHTML, but not SVG. It seems like SVG continues to live within Adobe 
but its sort 
of a hidden life now that they aquired Macromedias Flash technology. They seem 
to be 
afraid of mentioning SVG in the public ... As an example, if one visits http://
labs.adobe.com/technologies/digitaleditions/faq.html it does not mention SVG at 
all, 
despite the fact that from several sources I heard that SVG is supported as a 
static format, 
without filters and animation.

As an Adobe customer I am a bit confused by all the different products/plugins, 
etc. 
Adobe is offering. Why so many different viewers and plugins that sort of do 
the same 
thing? Well, but thats more a question to the responsible product managers. 
Hopefully at 
some day, they converge to fewer products/viewers.

Thanks for sharing your information Leonard.

Andreas
