Thanks Tab, I agree to a certain extent. My concern is perhaps less with SVG viewers (my mistake) but with SVG tools in general which I think are also part of the web platform in the broad sense of the word "platform". I think we'd all love to see more authoring tools (especially animation authoring tools!) as well as utilities like SVG scour as I mentioned in my previous post. While some features might be reasonable requirements for browsers, let's make sure they don't present an unnecessary hurdle for tools. Again, as I mentioned in my previous post, I think we can mandate CSS support in a way that doesn't raise the barrier to entry too high by providing an angle-bracket syntax for animations. Brian PS- Several years ago I worked for a number of years on a commercial SVG authoring tool that didn't support CSS because the project scope didn't stretch to writing a CSS parser (and the company couldn't use 3rd party code). Fortunately tools like Illustrator provided an option to output presentational attributes instead of CSS.Received on Tuesday, 2 August 2011 02:59:07 UTC
