Hello,

I imagine you'll hear details from some NUBS/NURBS implementors, but I 
wanted to add some other information to your question...

On the CGM Open references page [1], you might be interested in a detailed 
comparison and contrast of SVG and WebCGM [2], [3].  This has been 
developed over a couple of years, through a couple of major versions, and 
with the input and review from some SVG experts as well as CGM experts.
