Hello,
Kurt Cagle has kicked off a discussion on the SVG developers group
titled "Role of XAML on SVG Group".
Kurt writes:
I've seen the issue about the relevancy or appropriateness of XAML
within the SVG-Dev list a number of times, and would like to open up a
discussion here, as it may influence may own writings as well.
XAML is undoubtedly a technology that competes across the board with
SVG, HTML, XSL-FO, XUL, etc. I have three questions with regards to
it, however.
1) Are people migrating from SVG to XAML (or building XAML parallel
track developments) in their application development work?
2) Do people on this list feel that XAML is a worthwhile tool to be
developing on, or do they fear that IP issues will end up pulling the
rug out from under them?
3) Should XAML be covered within the SVG-Development list?
I know I'm opening up a can of worms here ... it's my intent, but I
think that that the adoption of or avoidance of XAML has become a
major issue with SVG developers and would like to get a sense for what
people think.

What's your take? Do you see people migrating from SVG to XAML? Do
you think Microsoft will use patents on XAML and sue XAML knock offs?
Do you think the SVG community will endorse XAML? Let us know what you
think.
