That's unfortunate. In reality, Adobe has not "supported" ASV for years (except for plugging security holes in a CYA strategy). You might reassure your clients by disabusing them of the common notion that Adobe will not still provide a download of the plug-in. Some companies still want the security of knowing a plug-in is "supported", though, which is understandable. <rant>Adobe, by not releasing the source, has removed any chance of 3rd-party (e.g. volunteer) support of ASV. I still disapprove of their handling of this whole situation, though they did settle on the bare minimum of community responsiblity.</rant> > Before I began using SVG a number of years back, I > built a few samples with VML.

Rather than doing this yourself, you might look at some OS efforts that are already going this route. I think I've heard of several, but most notable is dojo (which does it as part of its huge cross-browser script lib). > I spent today mapping the SVG features I utilized to their > counterpart in VML but a few important items remain.

Any examples or pointers would be most welcome. I don't know if dojo handles this, but it's possible to do in script. You would have to essentially recreate the geometry calculations in the script, and write wrappers to effectively position markers at the appropriate place (note that orientation is probably going to be tricky).
