Taking Aim at Macromedia Flash

The W3C started developing an open format called Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) in 1999 that is open source, based on XML and can be used in many ways to replace Flash.

An article at DevShed explains how this could one day take the place of Flash, but it can't yet.

I wanted to try one of the W3C test suites offered by the W3C and Firefox (my default browser) could not find a suitable plugin. Further searching found that Mozilla is offering a SVG enabled browser, but I decided not to overwrite my current browser.

It might not be ready for "prime time" yet, but it is coming.
