RE: Various out-of-date SVG-in-OT specs/drafts

Thank you Sairus for bringing this up.
I think it is also a good idea to add a prominent statement saying that the technology developed by this CG has been incorporated in the latest edition of the ISO Open Font Format standard that can be downloaded free of charge using the following link:
http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c066391_ISO_IEC_14496-22_2015.zip


Thanks,
Vlad

Subject: Various out-of-date SVG-in-OT specs/drafts

1. Cam, others,

Several folks are somehow finding the unofficial editors draft http://dev.w3.org/SVG/modules/fonts/SVG-OpenType.html doc and asking questions. While it does have a disclaimer, folks are still reading it and confused.

Would it be possible to somehow indicate clearly that it’s not valid any more and that
https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/svg.htm and
https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/colr.htm

should be consulted instead?

2. Chris, others,

https://www.w3.org/community/svgopentype/ points to https://www.w3.org/2013/10/SVG_in_OpenType/ as the final report of the community group, which is correct. However, OT/OFF has changed things in the standardization process. It would be good to include the above two opentype links on https://www.w3.org/community/svgopentype/ as well, and perhaps on https://www.w3.org/2013/10/SVG_in_OpenType/ as well. However, other suggestions are welcome as well.

Thanks,
Sairus
