I think "ignored" is too strong a word; it can feel that way (I've been on both sides of the equation), but it's usually the case where the group simply hasn't had the right place to deal with such requests, so we (or they) put them on the "Someday" pile. > The methods of discussion and decisions that result from that packet > will surely formulate a process whereby further new ideas can be > submitted, evaluated, and implemented into SVG2. Systematically going through the list for past feature requests would be a lot of work that I don't think I could commit to performing, given that such requests are not necessarily worded in a way that they are easy to pick out, and many of them may no longer be relevant; if you or anyone else wants to mine the www-svg and svg-developers lists for ideas, that input would be welcome (especially if it were filtered for duplicates and prioritized). That said, we do intend to do our best... some of the most pressing past features requests have already been mentioned in this thread, and we will continue to look through our lists and issue tracker for suggestions that are still relevant in the larger context of SVG as it is more closely integrated with CSS, HTML, various APIS, etc. But I'd also like to see new feature requests we haven't seen before, and those that have been changed or refined over time from the original idea.
