XBrowser SVG suggestions?

[drclue]

I have this sorta nifty SVG speaker selection widget I'm developing.
http://kirksaeter.com/SpeakerSelecto...erSelector.svg
I've been regularly validating it ( minutes ago was most recent )
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...+1.1&verbose=1

The image is contained in the fallowing page
http://kirksaeter.com/SpeakerSelecto...rSelector.html

I boot up a Linux/Gnome desktop , so the input from folks
with other contexts is of imense value.

I chose this simple application to cut my teeth on as I think
it exercises many if not most of the major issues one might face in
basic xbrowser SVG development.

SVG is not supported by IE, the latter uses VML instead. I'm not sure
what "xbrowser SVG development" can be with 80%-95% of your visitors
exclided by definition.

If for some reason you decided do not use HTML/CSS tools but use the
browser only as a page-size embedded object holder: if that then PDF
format is much more suitable, with plugin installed on nearly any
browser. PDF also supports scripting (it implements a version of
ECMAScript language).

Or heck, I'm sure the entire thing could be easily ported to Flash.
I was amazed that the sorta nifty SVG thing fired up not embedded,
just as .svg, with its own menus.
Easy use of svg as a scriptable window and use as a scriptable
element in a document will really help to realise the
graphics and interactivity power of modern UA's.
Best Regards,

IE does SVG by plug-in ( ASV if I recall ), and with
recent business acquisitions it will probably show up in flash
as Adobe rolls up ASV in 2008 if I recall that tid bit correctly.

Not to say that other approaches might not whave their merit but
I see a solid destination in the (x) files and that's where
I'm going.

All my servers , proxies and other interfaces are configured to
output XML and JSONized XML, which goes very nicely with XSL and SVG,
and other (X) files. SVG art that changes dynamically based on
real-time data is going to be a lot more fun than I think I can
get from a .pdf

Statistics like ( 80%-90% ) should actually include a citation as to
where they came from, as often by chance or by purpose those statistics
come under the category of "self full filling prophecy".

What kind of logs of browser participation would I get if I went to
the Microsoft security update page? What kind of logs would
I get for a Microsoft based site?

I know from my various project logs that while the [default] browser
installed with the operating system typically enjoys a market share
advantage that I get in these projects a different set of percentages,
because I make the effort to start with w3.org standards and reach out.

My Windows machine died a year ago , and I've been using Linux/Gnome
and I have no problems with standards compliant sites, and if you
examine their logs as I have you will find that the 80-90 think
has more to do with the site than the audience.

How many hits do you think you'll get from the people you attempt to
exclude?
