Re: Minutes, 26 Feb 2009 SVG telcon

Hi, Anthony-

Since you haven't yet checked the ISO spec, and have been developing the 
algorithms independently, it might be prudent to hold off reading 
ISO32000 or using anything from it when updating the Compositing module. 
  Let's go with the algorithms Canon provided for now, until we are 
clear on where we stand.

Regards-
