RE: SVG Solutions for Internet Explorer

Hi Jeff!

Nice article, however, this one made me curios:

(Renesis)
Disadvantages:
Requires user to install the plugin 
Poor support (no SMIL, no SVG filters, no SVG fonts) 

That's not so true, SVG Fonts are actually supported, only SMIL and Filters
are missing. We are very close to the same SVG Support as Mozilla,
nevertheless, Mozilla has no disadvantage of "poor support". We support
everything raising from cursors to full css to markers and clipping etc.
except SMIL and Filters so not sure if that's worth a "poor" rating, however
it's your choice at the very end, just wanted to give my $0.02

>Inconsistent/Irregular bursts of activity from the Renesis folks 

Uhm yes.. but things have been changed lately with the blog..

>Focus on backward compatibility with ASV rather than the standard 

hu? That's not true. We focus on absolute standard compability *and* support
for ASV3 quirks. Also you write that we have "not yet delivered a solution
that could replace ASV" but for that to happen we urgently have to support
ASV3's quirks as well.. 

>Slow development 

Uh well .. slow releases would be a better term ;-) However things will
change with V3.

>Though intiially showing promise several years ago, the Renesis team has
>not yet delivered a solution that could replace ASV.

Might be however please note that a lot of people are using renesis instead
of ASV already. As long as you don't use SMIL and Filters you can do
anything you could do in ASV, too.

No offense ment, however, nice list :-)
