| Three cheers!!! So fine with new and actually improved technologies instead of the many GUI rehashes that some companies make money off delivering all the time. I don't often use SVG, and am by no means an expert on it, but I dislike the experience every time. Like having to edit an .SVG file to fix a wrong displacement that places it a bit too far down. Trial and error, trial and error, until you randomly hit the spot that makes the thing begin to behave. I think TVG popularity boils down to browser support and nothing else. I hope somebody with the skills picks up the task of integrating it into Chromium, then the rest of the world will bend and bow quickly. Also, one might hope that a freeware GUI editor will see the light in not too long. Perhaps the authors should do a new single-protocol Mail/Calendar/Contacts/Notes/etc. standard as well? I recall IMAP being a horribly clumsy and complex protocol, and didn't Einstein say: Make it as simple as you can, but not simpler!

SVG is a very impressive, extremely clear format with many bells and whistles such as text-to-path and animation built-in.
The only improvement I can see it might need is a better compression functionality that can selectively prioritize symbols to load first if the SVG is sufficiently large.
