Re: Should we pay more attention to SVG?

I agree SVG is interesting technology, and is already widely used in
mapping - Lets just be careful however as, quoting the charter...

"The Spatial Data on the Web Working Group must be mindful of the needs of
front end Web developers, however, it will not develop any geospatial or
map rendering technologies."

So pointing to good working examples as a potential best practice is a good
approach.
