All language bindings count (even though EcmaScript is the only required one). Jave doesn't have a networking API, J2SE and J2EE do. IIRC J2ME does not have it for instance (I could be out of date here). EcmaScript and a few other likely candidates don't have one, which is why it needs to be specified in order for the SVG Platform to be workable. -- Robin Berjon
