SVG Open 2005 Presentation
We've been at the SVG Open conference for the past couple days talking to people about Mozilla's native SVG implementation and presenting our paper Implementing SVG in a Web Browser: Past, Present, and Future of Mozilla SVG. The slides used for the presentation are now available.Posted by tor at August 17, 2005 3:52 PM

The paper's comments about SVG 1.2 were good, and the one-liner in the slide summed it up well: "SVG 1.2 implementation unlikely in current form". It will be interesting to see if this fact pushes 1.2 in a new direction or if Mozilla gets left behind at 1.1.

Have the working group been more responsive wrt clarification and/or errata for SVG 1.1? Is SVG 1.2 going to get the massive refactoring it needs to integrate properly with the W3C's other specs? Is everything just going to move over to MS-XAML because at least it's mostly consistent? Enquiring minds want to know....
Thanks for all the hard work!

The presentation has this statement:
"SVG not available for or CSS properties accepting images"
Is there a reason you can't use SVG in CSS or with img? It seems like a logical application of SVG.

The SVG specification supports using SVG in html:img and css:background-image, the Mozilla implementation does not currently support it (I REALLY want to see scalable backgrounds in Mozilla soon, though).
