If not, how much effort is it to make it so? The animation stuff does not depend on Rhino at all, so that’s fine. But it seems to me that since ECMAScript support is required for a conforming dynamic SVG 1.1 viewer, it’s silly to have to force the user to download it from somewhere else. > We can also bring this issue up on legal-discuss again if necessary. > Cocoon is in the same boat. If there was no resolution from the previous discussion, I think it should be. -- Cameron McCormack, http://mcc.id.au/ xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ▪ ICQ 26955922 ▪ MSN [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
