Yay! That's fantastic news.
Just curious. Will this case work?
var svg:XML = <svg>
<group>
<rect id="1" />
<rect id="2" />
</group>
<group>
<rect id="3" />
<rect id="4" />
</group>
</svg>
var rects:XMLList = svg..rect;
//rects should contain all the rects in the svg, i.e.
<rect id="1"/>
<rect id="2"/>
<rect id="3"/>
<rect id="4"/>
Thanks,
Om
