A very interesting analysis on the importance of webblogs when it comes to google…
Laurence Pit (the creator of openwiki) discovered a strange bug concerning inline SVG and Adobe SVG Viewer. I’ve been looking into it a little bit more, this is basically how it works:
with ASV 3.0 you can inline SVG in XHTML. But, in IE6, if the XHTML has a DOCTYPE (and it must have to be XHTML) the SVG will not work at all. If you simply remove the DOCTYPE it works again. Strange and annoying bug.
I just put up a new experiment. It’s the SVG version of a Flash from levitated.net which I like a lot. I didn’t get it as nice as the orginal in this version but it’s coming :-)
The work has begun on the standard that shouldn’t exist. The last couple of years work on XML has shown that a new revision is necessary. Tim Bray and some others has written a skinkworks document outlining their ideas for XML 2.0. They throw out DTD, entities and add namespaces, base and infoset.
I think this a necessary step to take. XML makes no sense without namespaces so it should be better integrated. And DTDs and entities has past their best-before date.
xml.com has a very interesting article about this as well.
The official SVG page from W3C has a new design. W3C goes with their own recommendations and trashes tables and use XHTML and CSS instead. And they link the SVG-wiki :-)
