Well, Macromedia folks are on the W3C working group for the SVG 1.0 spec,

so there's measurable interest here. (We're not the reason SVG is so late,

though! ;-)


I haven't seen any published announcements about future version features,

but if SVG is important for people who use Flash, then it's naturally a

priority for the toolmakers too.


One thing I always ask in this thread is what you'd like to do with the

file format... this can help define what types of work would be useful to

prioritize. (For instance, I suspect that SVG as a file-exchange format

will be much more useful than as a playback format for the forseeable

future... this would get us away from the problems with proprietary

exchange formats like .AI files.)


If you'd care to drop a note saying what you hope to accomplish to

wish-flashmacromedia [dot] com

, then that would directly reach the development

team, thanks. (Following up here on the list is fine too, of course.)
