Seems a lot of talk about SVG but the mobile industry moves faster than a ninja kick so if this happens then would this mean.
SVG Tiny / Basic will overtake Full SVG, if this happens how different is this, what areas would be lost. For example is SVG Tiny / Basic 90% of full SVG? I see Opera uses SVG Tiny, for their browser, would we be developing in this? Or the basic version? What are the comparisons, are there any tables, in our case we don’t use any filters or animation so could probably get away with it.

ASV 3 is something i can continue to use today for intranet work, even though it's difficult to use on the web because of distribution issues... there's nothing quite as satisfying in web development as building dynamic svg on the fly... Will we find salvation in Firefox? nighly builds include SVG so this can only be a good thing. I don't know anyone who hasn't been glad to switch to Firefox from IE... Opera, conqueror, Ronan's perl library, Steve's galactic pathways and many others...I don't use these, but it's pretty cool that so many people in so many projects are spending so much of their precious time working with faith in SVG. I do use a KDE desktop from time to time so v4 might open some opportunities. GoSVG looks super cool! Mobile development is not my thing, perhaps only because i almost went mad working three weeks at a 96 x 120 resolution on the plazmic engine that i don't think it even exists anymore...but a lot of smart developers go for the mobile scene...pda phones have been released in Japan so the display size is getting bigger... SVG and XAML are not mutually exclusive technologies...it's been said on this list that if you know SVG then you know XAML. While there is plently of uncertainly out there, we do have the knowledge that SVG is a comprehensive and carefully developed grahpic specification that shares all of the benefits of being a member of the XML family...i think this means that any one organisation wanting to dominate with a single closed alternative is not going to succeed in the long-term. Well that's my rave. but one more thing, i suggest we cheer on the team developing the 1.2 specification and let them know that we're here for the long run...ready and willing to jump onto the next big full implemetation that comes along. As for the long term, the way i feel is that if i'm not using SVG to develop GUIs in five years time then i won't be developing GUIs at all!! NOW, my rave is really over!
