I saw a badly drawn flag of Macedonia in the flags gallery (it kind of hurts
national pride :)
I therefore sat and and did it in svg (by hand, I opened it later in
sodipodi without problems, added benefit - it's smaller then normal sodipodi
files but can someone validate it to be shure because it's my first time to
use svg ?) following the directions on http://flagspot.net/flags/mk.html
Since it was suggested to have the smaller side 140mm I used a viewBox
attribute on the svg tag, I used it to be able to scale the propotions to
the required dimensions, but I'm not shure if it's the correct way of doing
it. Does the svg format have something like an <author> tag? I added this
line <desc>Flag of the Republic of Macedonia proclamed by the Decree No.
08-3359/1 on October 5,1995; Author: Srepfler Srgjan </desc> but I think
that having a tag for authoring would be nice...
The http://flagspot.net/flags/mk.html page gave some colors but I used the
default red and yellow attributes for them, as the yellow reported on the
site might have been more correct but the red one was totally off scale
(maybe because of my monitor?) so I sticked with the default since in
Macedonia we all say yellow and red not
*	Red: Pantone 485 c / CMYK (%) C 0 - M 100 - Y 90 - K 0 

*	Yellow: Pantone 108c / CMYK (%) C 0 - M 0 - Y 100 - K 0
If someone can use a namespace to separate the Author:... bit in a separate
tag I'd be thankfull
I did not know how to do a 3:2 version of the flag :( prehaps if altering
the width and height of <svg> to 210mm and 140mm, and keeping the same
viewBox?
I put my work in the public domain, so go there and multiply :)
I'm not following the [email protected] mailing list so
please inform by mail if something is wrong or if you will add it in the
gallery.
