I note that Inscape has exactly that facility, to enter flowed text, tweak, and the programmatically convert to fixed text. I can imagine designers finding this very handy for automatically creating, manually adjusting, and then fixing a particular layout. On the other hand, for example when making a template that will be filled in with customized text taken from a database, there cannot be a human in the loop and the designer can't fix it ahead of time. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead
