I wonder what made the Google people decide to set the DTD as HTML
5, and use the (almost unsupported) SVG.
In a way it's nice to see SVG getting some use, even if I had to
upgrade an old FF installation to 1.5 before I saw it (my usual
browser is Mozilla, to be honest). It makes a change from being told
that my up-to-the-minute Flash version is in need of upgrading[1]
Because the research was carried out and written up by Ian
Hickson...
Oh, I hadn't realised that, I must admit. It certainly seems to fit
the observations, anyway.
I still haven't drawn any firm conclusions from it, but it's kind-of
interesting, all the same.
cheers
[1] I digress, but it seems that some authors have found a way to
prevent their Flash content being seen at all by FlashBlock users -
they somehow pre-empt the FlashBlock menu, and instead they lecture
the reader about upgrading to the latest Flash version, even when the
reader already has the latest Flash version installed. Next time it
happens to me, maybe I'll bother to work out what they're doing.
