please don't assume this. an n800 or n810 does not have much processing power, and its user would prefer that the device's battery last longer. Rendering a tiny picture perfectly on the client side when it could have been rendered server side is not a polite thing to ask of a resource limited device. > Every browser (except IE) *has* SVG rendering. That's not true. MicroB as shipped w/ OS 2008 on the N810 (and in OS 2008 for the N800) does not include SVG rendering. <http://browser.garage.maemo.org/news/9/> (disclaimer: i wrote that page) AFAICT IE6 included an old version of Adobe's SVG plugin, and you can get Adobe's latest plug-in (3.03) if you like. > Firefox 3 will have *accurate* SVG rendering. who's promising this? > SVG is the Right Thing for so many situations.
