Hi Jean-Claude, Yes, GPAC would be a good start for a SVG 1.2 plugin for IE, but I wonder how far away it is from SVG 1.1 Full support? The main goal of an SVG plugin for IE should be the support of SVG 1.1 content. SVG 1.2 support is of course a plus, but SVG 1.1 Full support has to be provided. Much of the existing SVG content relies on SVG Full features like clipping, masking, filters, etc. which is not present in tiny. If you fell however, that it should be reasonable to implement the missing SVG 1.1 features in GPAC in a few months it might well be an option.
