My main point is that SVG is presentational and if you want to have real semantic mark-up than you have to generate SVG out of it. XSLT and SVG can be used together today in simple, but practical cases (and text-in-the shape is very useful there, would not you agree?), but for complex transformations a custom transformer has to be written. But <metaphor> is just as inappropriate in SVG as it is in XSL:FO, at least not until you can have <spacecraft> as well. Peter >[snip]
