Hi, Alec: My guess is, that with the question of whether the standards are based on patents, and whether the patent policy issues will be resolved, the forward progress has slowed for the moment. At some point, if the W3C.org patent policy is instituted, that organization dries up as just a proprietary workshop to promote private industry. Another, Open Standards organization will pop up, clean up the Batik/SVG issues, and soon we'll have dynamic component work again. What's your feeling?
