I haven't looked in detail at the vector graphics side of the problem yet. Off-hand it looks like SVG would be a reasonably good fit for some of the requirements, in particular ease of implementation and a reasonably well-defined scripting environment, but it also isn't a perfect fit for everything, for example it probably isn't supported in as wide a collection of editors as, say, the Windows Metafile format, and isn't supported in as wide an installed base of browsers as, say, VML. I do not wish to prematurely limit our options, doing so would not be fair to the Web authoring community. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
