Hi, > That's one use case. Right, I specified that use case to answer to the message of Double Y.(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2003Feb/0055.html). >Are you working specifically in this area? This is a part of our work but not the only one. We are working in all which is related to the content adaptation and negotiation problem in heterogeneous environments (http://opera.inrialpes.fr/people/Tayeb.Lemlouma/NAC.htm, http://opera.inrialpes.fr/people/Tayeb.Lemlouma/publication.html) and to the Device Independence problem (http://www.w3.org/2001/di/). > while WBXML was moslty a > failure, there are other ways of binarising documents that can be used.

Personally I don't know any effort proper to SVG, this is an interesting problem to see if a specific binarization of SVG can be more optimized than existing XML binarizations.
