Folks here at the shop have been on the W3C's working group for SVG, but

we're still waiting for the 1.0 specification to be standardized.


What would you want to use it for? Much of the press material seems to be

on web delivery, although the hard part seems to be getting actual web

viewership. ;-)


If you're looking for a new file-exchange format or other use, could you

drop a note to

wish-flashmacromedia [dot] com

 saying what you're hoping to

accomplish with SVG, and why other practical paths today don't yet suffice?

Thanks.

Hmm, I wasn't aware that Illustrator's SWF export doesn't yet support

selectable text.
