How about "WebCGM 2.0 -- the other svg"  ;)

Title suggestions welcome.

Thanks very much for the offer!

However, in just talking with Dave, he agreed to do a first cut.  We would 
then turn it around Thursday for your input (and TC's).  (I'm strapped for 
time on Wednesday and Friday.)

If you and Dave want to reverse roles, I'm sure that's fine (work it out 
between yourselves).  I was just trying to ensure something got 
done.  Either way, then Don could coordinate and recirculate it for further 
input on Thursday (I'd add my two cents then, as a probable co-author for 
at least the initial submission.)

Thoughts?

Cheers,
-Lofton.
