> For your reference we are in the "Last Call" stage right now. "Call for > Implementations" comes _after_ that, so discussion happens first and I think what was meant here is that standardisation is normally about consolidating the results of independent developments. A normal standards process is not about the cutting edge, but about taking the best of what already exists, assembling a coherent whole, and documenting it in a way that properly defines how edge cases behave (or explicitly leaves them implementation dependent). To me, SVG looks more like a product development exercise than a standardisation one. In other areas, W3C has gone beyond pure standardisation, but in those areas it has been more from a social responsibility point of view.
