Jon, Thanks for the details. Obviously most of what we're looking for is in the July 30 spec...somewhere! Regarding the global coordinate system: > > > >[One thing the GI community could contribute, if sufficient interest exists, > >is a hierarchical triangle-based coordinate system for the entire globe: > >saves space and eliminates lots of projection and datum problems. Uses a > >quadtree and stores not only position but also resolution.] > > This sounds very interesting! How can the SVG team learn more about this? > Pardon my personal ignorance. Is there a textbook or a URL that you can > provide which describes this coordinate system? ...I have made the developer of this system aware of your interest, and he will likely contact the SVG group.
