Jon ferraiolo, Thanks for taking the time to look into the work I have done for the SVG community as a whole....I kind of made a grand enterence onto the SVG stage....because I wanted others that do not look at the SVG specification that often ....to realize that some thing have changed.....(please remember your company has a viewer that is working close to full Spec) others are still creating and I would hate to think the specification was not being implementated correctly ....because know one knew what had changed since the last change.....I think some of the defaults in the chapter 11 and 10 have added some changes....and in fact added completely new information that new developers ....as well as old developers....might want to know...oh....lets ....say 1 the legal information.....thats kinda importaint....How is that going anyway.....Is possible to high-light the sections to the document that might get developers in trouble.... anyway.....believe it or not none of that is a rant on you.....I have always enjoyed your informed opinions about the SVG specification and sharing your knowledge with the group....you have been on the SVG Group almost every day........it just that I like people to know what has changed and I like it to be.....*****EASY***** ****VERY EASY ****** I NOT WORKING ON SVG BECAUSE I NEED TO ......I NOT DOING AS A JOB....I JUST WANT SVG TO SUCCEED BECAUSE OF ITS VECTOR NATURE and the format is uses (XML) has great potential to migth SVG something helpful to other...... I will go back to my cave and think....... We all learn by sharing what we know Robert A.
