Excellent suggestion Francis!
But... it will never happen. Why not? One word: Silverlight. Why support SVG when you can lock your customers in to a proprietary MS technology? -JCT From: svg-developers@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Francis Hemsher Sent: Wednesday, 12 November 2008 21:29 To: svg-developers@yahoogroups.com Subject: [svg-developers] MS acquires ASV3 to bundle in IE8? Adobe has planned to discontinue support for its SVG Viewer 3 in January. IE8 should be finalized sometime shortly thereafter. MS can probably acquire this robust ActiveX component, and easily bundle it in the finished IE8 package. This has presented a unique opportunity for MS, providing them a seamless means of initiating SVG support in their browser. Although not 'native', it surely will create a supremely positive message to SVG developers who want to employ SVG in the IE environment. As a development community, I think we should actively suggest and support this for both Adobe and MS.
