The dependency on patents can always be revived. That said, the real problem is not having more than one (Adobe) or two (batik) SVG viewers. That isn't healthy. Even with RAND or royalty free, there isn't much economic incentive to build a competing free viewer, and without one, SVG belongs to Adobe. That isn't wrong; just uncomfortable. Most of the free/open formats result in a single viewer dominating the niche. I'd be thrilled to see an MS SVG viewer but I can also understand why they might not consider it a good business move. X3D may also become a force although real time 3D has had a very hard time getting more than a cult following despite the obvious efficiencies and power of it. len
