Native SVG Support in IE8   Message List  
Reply Message #50890 of 63354 |
OK, we all know this isn't in the plans...but maybe, just MAYBE - a well
executed, POSITIVELY SPUN, e-mail and press/media campaign upped the pressure on
MS to support SVG Tiny 1.1 (the code is 90% done - just retool VML!), with
pressure from users, corporate customers, ISV's, media pundits, the mobile
providers and equipment vendors, I think it could happen.

Who wants to lead the charge?

If there's any resistance to doing this in the SVG community, that would speak
volumes about the prospects of SVG going big-time mainstream. Like it or not,
having MS on board partway is better than not at all.

Even cooler would be for the SVG community to donate the implementation code to
MS's development organization - we all know how $$$'s are tight there ;).

In any case, whadda ya all think?

Hello, if implementing svg natively in ie means the same as the implementation of other w3c-recommendations, then i am certainly against it. If we think about...

By halfway I mean SVG Tiny 1.1, per the spec. The "half" part is not implementing SVG Basic or full. ________________________________ From:...

Aye, looks like svg is an excellent niche for blockheaded idealists? Since Rick did call for a *well executed*, *positively spun* campaign, he's reasonably up...

I'm very curious about the lack of interest in such a thing...is the SVG developers forum simply losing participants? Is there such contempt for Microsoft...

Who says there is going to be an IE 8 anyway? MSFT wasn't going to release another version of IE, but they backed off of that idea, and decided to create IE7....

Hi Rick, I think that the lack of reaction on your idea is not necessarily a sign of lack of interest. My reaction was not to react because it sound utterly...

*rantish* For me it's not that IE is MS, it's mostly just an "*eyeroll* Oh, another implementation to consider, yay." reaction. Though if IE standards...

Well said - but unless we try, we'll never know...but between VML, XAML/WVG, this isn't a huge task for them and would help dispel some of the distaste for...
