So you disagree with Robin that SVG integration into HTML is a significant step forward in XML/HTML integration? > I'd rather see the task force focusing on things that are not quite so obvious from the specs. I disagree that the status of XML/HTML integration in the case of SVG is "obvious", and the questions I posed before still haven't been answered in the Task force report. There seems to be a reluctance to document things that people claim are "obvious", but their only obvious if you've been living and breathing this stuff for years. What I'd like is a single document which answers the technical questions with enough clarity that someone unfamiliar with the details of the specs and history of the conversations can still understand the situation; the single document should reflect the consensus of "both sides" as to the status; if disagreements remain, the document should explain the disagreements.
