David, please elaborate on this. My first reaction is that HTML solves a *lot* of problems in the world, in the sense that Web applications exist and do valuable work. Are you saying something like, "the front page of Google doesn't *need* HTML; except for the searchbox, we could do everything in SVG"? I hope not--I hope you're making some different point that I'm missing.
I think it's largely just me trying to combine pith with humor. I've also argued [1], for example, that the human development of speech and writing and later HTML were largely a logical progression of compounded mistakes based on a series of accidents. As such, please don't take my statement here too seriously ;) Cheers David [1] https://www.svgopen.org/2009/papers/26-Why_is_SVG_going_to_be_REALLY_BIG_/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [email protected] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
