Re: [SVG2 CR] shared path?

Hi all,

Since this topic shows up, I just wanted to make sure that the SVG WG is 
aware of my research (and its implementation, VPaint):

http://dalboris.com/research/vgc/
http://www.vpaint.org/

I have not yet been participating here because I don't think the 
technology is quite ready for standardization yet, and it would be quite 
a disruptive change for SVG. However, in the (probably distant) future, 
I can definitely give a hand to integrate these kind of features in SVG.

Regards,
Boris
