CMN on the other hand, many of the interesting things I have seen done with Flash could easily be done with SVG and be more accessible. max I think for tiny devices a scaled back spec makes sense, but compared to the size of typical browsers and operating systems of Today there is nothing bloated about Adobe's SVG Viewer on a PC. Rather than put a crippled form of SVG in web browsers, perhaps Adobe should put a rudimentary XHTML browser/XSLT Processor into their SVG Viewer. The SVG group is working on several profiules, for smaller kinds of devices that can't hold a full animated SVG viewer (and a static profile was already defined in SVG 1.0 - Batik is almost completely conformant to that). http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG On the other side, Jon Ferraiolo, editor of the SVG specification and an Adobe SVG guy, was one of several SVG implementors who worked on the production of a document explaining requirements for a component extension framework, that would allow an SVG plugin to call an XHTML vrowser or XSLT processor as a plugin for included content. This is going to be more important as more types of content are used on teh Web - Math, music, chemical information, etc. http://www.w3.org/TR/cx It is my hope that this work will progress to a specification, and be implemented, to make the idea a useful reality. cheers Charles
