>I am currently looking into implementing a vector graphics solution that will be supported by all web browsers ------------------ SVG is heading towards standards status, and is a result of the contributions of Adobe (PGML) and Microsoft (VML), both of whom, with the help of other companies, submitted Notes to the W3C in an effort of developing a comprehensive vector art standard for the Web. So SVG is what you should count on as becoming the accepted standard. VML is Microsoft. They went their own way, without regard to what way the standards went. They did the same thing with XSL(T) -- made a Microsoft-centric version of it without bothering to wait for the final rendition. since an SVG plug-in is publicly available from Adobe, you can now create code that you know people can see (Adobe has boiler plate code on their site that allows browsers to load the plug-ins).
