WVG : The New Scalable Vector Graphics

Posted by timothy on from the actually-its-name-is-homer dept.

jafro_svg writes "While the press has discussed Microsoft's upcoming 'Sparkle' as a potential Flash-killer - the technology arena on which Microsoft's new technology is having the most impact is SVG. SVG (now a W3 standard for 3 yeras) was itself billed as a Flash-killer some years ago, and speculation about how it might be accepted into the mainstream for developers (i.e. incorporated into IE) now seems inevitable -- you see, Sparkle's real name is WVG and is 90% identical to SVG." Jafro_svg also points out this online SVG tutorial.

    WVG is not duping SVG in one key respect, see my other comment in this thread.

    Who nees open standards and peer review, when there's a monopolist we can all follow like sheep

    Fallacy of Prejudicial Language. I'm tempted to reply with "Who needs the ability to actually read up on the draft WVG spec and see if it _really_ is the same as SVG, when we can all wallow in groupthink and sing along to the church of Ignucius", but that'd be hitting below the belt ;-)
