Internet Explorer - W3C SVG Working Group Update for January 2010

[AWS]

In this post, I want to share some examples of the progress going on in the SVG Working Group. Microsoft recently joined the SVG Working Group, and other members (Mozilla, Apple and Opera among others) welcomed us warmly. I'm hopeful about the ways that SVG (both its current direction and future potential) could make the web better. We want the spec to be clear, consistent, and predictable for developers. We’re working out ambiguities such as “Pointer events and clip-pathsâ€Â, “CSS Selectors and as well as inconsistencies with stroked-dasharray†and “ and its interaction with the DOM and rendering†so that web developers can write SVG once and know that it will be interoperable across browsers.

 

 

I have to admit I was a little hesitant at first to get guidance and clarity on a dozen or so items we found to be ambiguous (see public SVG WG discussion threads), however the positive response has been overwhelming.
