Hi all, am only half-following this but, ya'll know me: more is better. Seems like we're still about 10 years behind SVG1.2. But non-affine transforms have been requested for at least 8 years and I could probably, given more time, find a collection of at least twenty discussions on this list about them. People like them, have reasons for liking them (isn't that English for having 'use=case'?), and given the close relationship between non affine transforms and gradients that are neither radial nor linear, can be used to extend the class of gradients as well. I seem to recall someone making a proposal that advances on both fronts be made concurrently. A mesh can define either a warp or a gradient. It is a bit of work to simulate non-affine transforms within current SVG: http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/clipdrag12.svg regards David PS Ello now supports uploading and display of declaratively animated SVG -- the first social network to do so (afaik)
