I can be there.  I agree that we should identify particular topics we
would jointly discuss so that we can be sure we would effectively use
our time.  You have started with Animation and Filters.  Are there other
pressing topics?

There is an adjacent internationalisation workshop (on the Thursday
before?) which might be interesting for some of us.  I know that in the
future we will need to do some work to harmonise, say, vertical text
between what we have in SVG now and what CSS will have soon.
