Re: SVG?

It will depend upon for quite a large audience how swiftly Mozilla-Firebird integrates full SVG 1.1 support and be ready to augment this when SVG 1.2 becomes final.

Personally,

I want Konqueror, Mozilla and Safari to get their CSS 1,2 & 3 standards up to the offerings W3C has defined.

Partial implementations are quite annoying, even though it is better than no implementation.

For me the browser differentiation should not be about choosing which browser to develop content for but which browser's implementation I prefer using while browsing the Internet's content.

A page should load seemlessly for all the competing browsers--isn't this the point of recommended standards?

Flash has become more than a feature it is now more often a nuisance to behold.

If I want to see demo presentations then yes give me a Flash presentation (ala PPT or Keynote via the browser). If I want to navigate a site I sure as hell don't want to deal with Flash. And now that advertisers are flooding sites with Flash animations it slows down the browser experience even more.

Hell it also allows for poorly written Flash which then tends to lock up Firebird.

SVG requiring validation makes that a bit more trouble free.

Full implementations of recent w3c specs are quite hard to do, and take years to perfect. Perhaps css2 will be completely supported by IE && Gecko && Opera && KHTML, but I wouldn't bet on it until 2005 or so.
