Well, it was a keynote. The future is great. Everything is fine. I agree, there was not much meat. Maybe the keynote transcript is published somewhere with more...? If so, I am sure our MM friends will happily pass it on to us. This is obviously a dangerous place to talk about MM since we always end up in some wierd flame-soup that clogs our mailboxes for days on end. I wonder increasingly if our little world won't realign itself from SVG vs MM to SVG + MM vs WMF.
