It gives me hope, anyway, and I'm apparently a notorious pessimist. I pushed the Macromedia folks at WEB 2001 to support SVG (and SMIL). I'd love to see Microsoft support it. Those two hopes may mark me as a ridiculous optimist, but SVG is really cool stuff. There's been some concern expressed that SVG is not too far off from XSL-FO (as in Formatting Objects Considered Harmful [1]), but I'm happy to see a solid vector graphics-based presentation language using an XML vocabulary.
