Well, one of the many issues facing the promotion of SVG is that those creating SVG art are making the same mistakes as the authors of many HTML pages in that they only produce content suitable for one particular rendering agent.
While IE requires the ASV or other plug ins , other browser like Opera and Firefox provide native support for the standard. Each implementation has it's short comings , but those wanting to produce SVG that actually promotes the standards need to do so within those portions of the standards supported by all the viewing contexts involved . Albeit much more difficult to work within these restrictions , failure to do so is much akin to demonstrating your art in a darkened room Richard Pearman wrote: > Hi, > > When somebody was claiming that Silverlight was better than SVG and > would replace it, some other people on this list got rather angry. > If you feel so strongly about SVG and there's something simple, easy > and fun you can do to promote it, wouldn't you? > > I think a good way to promote SVG is to do something fun which shows > off the format's capabilities.
