What's the difference between an open standard like SVG which specifications are freely available and a supposedly closed standard like Flash which specifications are *also* freely available ? Is this just because SVG is driven by the W3C (after having beeing driven by Adobe, IIRC) and Flash is driven by the baaaaad Macromedia ? Because once again, both specifications are freely available. -- Luc Heinrich - lucsky@mac.com
