I think they're just being careful, SVG Tiny 1.2 not being a Rec yet and they having just chartered their EG (they only have two members so far). It's a general rule of standards organisations that when they look at work produced elsewhere their first thought is that it's laughably bloated and must have been produced by academically isolated endemic morons who don't understand the industry, the technology, common sense, love of $DEITY, etc.. Then they either decide to subset or to reinvent, and emerge two years later shadowing everything feature for feature at great pain, with incompatibilities, and a few extras poorly bolted on. I certainly hope that JSR 287 won't be walking that path :) -- Robin Berjon Senior Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/
