Aye. We agree more than not. I should've replied to the person before you.
Sorry about that. I was feeling hot-headed and didn't select the
correct email before replying.
Personally, I'm really looking forward to the better SVG support
required by HTML5. The HTML5 spec is very pragmatic in the approach to
many issues. Some of the decisions turn my stomach as it violates
other specs, but when the masses violate a spec, HTML5 also violates
the spec. The logic is sound, if unfortunate.
Cheers,
Steven Black
