Someone (not sure whether on this mailing list or at the SVG group at Yahoo) pointed out that pie charts are hellishly difficult to produce without elliptical arc, and those would be a the sort of thing a businessperson might want to see on his pocket phone/computer/whatever. Perhaps efforts would be better spent cajoling/coaxing/bribing the folks at W3C to include elliptical arc in the Tiny and Basic subsets. -- J. David Eisenberg http://catcode.com/
