Hi Alastair, Tossing ideas can be fun and creative. Protecting SVG, I believe is a possible goal. I don't quite know how to get there yet, but I'm working on it. I think this would be a neat feature for SVG.

Can't we have some kinda WYSIWYG in the print? --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, "Alastair Fettes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Just tossing out ideas now. > > This could be a way of protecting your SVG content.
