Subject: RE: [cgmo-webcgm] My initial responses
Hi Dave, I find your answers fair. Maybe a few small clarifications: 3) Add: Opera claims to have good support for SVG, but doesn't seem to have the popularity of Firefox. Firefox's SVG support is improving; but SVG probably isn't their highest priority (may take a while). It's believed that Apple has SVG support in Safari (Apple recently rejoined the SVG working group), but no product has been released. As for IE; Microsoft seems to be focusing on its own proprietary format. 6) SVG is the closest. My answer for 8) would be different. I actually think that the fact it is not XML does hurt. And I know Lofton will jump on this one; bring it on :-P Here is what I think, it's my personal opinion and doesn't speak to PTC's position or Dieter's. One of the draw back of CGM is that it isn't well supported by artistic drawing tools; and thus unknown to the typical graphics artist. This will slow the growth of CGM. The fact that it is not XML does hurt. It means that it can't be _easily_ hand written and it can't be generated by a Web Service or XSLT. This also limits how CGM can be used in the marketplace. For 10), I agree but with respect to the niche market of technical illustrations.
