However, it is probably > too late to change things now. The switch approach is very similar to the html:object approach. The two main differences are that it doesn't fallback based on simply the availability of support for an external format but rather on a rich set of user-definable criteria (support for a format, but also for a given SVG feature, for a non-SVG extension, the availability of a given font, etc.), and that it doesn't fallback to its children but to its following sibling which has the great advantage that you can have a fallback behaviour for structured content. Apart from that, the idea is pretty much the same. -- Robin Berjon Senior Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/
