Kurt Cagle's OpenSVG Keynote

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the magnitude-with-direction dept.

Metaphorically writes "Kurt Cagle has posted a summary of his keynote speech from the SVG Open 2005. Inspiring for an SVG enthusiast, informative for any geek. He covers a lot of ground on XML and the next generation of GUI. It connects a lot of technologies that people might otherwise not totally grasp. If you haven't been following the development of XForms, E4X, SVG and XAML then this is a great way to catch up."

    Hmmm... bad Content-Type possibly?
    This is where IE does what IMHO is a good job of double guessing the content type based on the file extension and "upgrades" the content type.
