It's not like we'll have millions of elements to be used in HTML one day. (I hope not, at least!) The language should remain relatively simple. I'm not even sure why people suggest SVG should be included as well as that's a presentational language. It makes much more sense to bind SVG to elements using XBL. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
