Hi Alex,

=20

Yes, and thanks for reminding us of the community spirit that helped get =
SVG as a standard =E2=80=9Cstandardized=E2=80=9D and thanks to the =
Microsoft folks who helped move it along!

=20

Let=E2=80=99s all motivate support for web animations!

Hi David,

=20

As with all web things, the community matters and it was the community =
that convinced IE to add SVG a few years back, and so at least for now =
the deprecation is (as I said at TGW last year), like Winston =
Churchill:-)

=20

In any case, SVG in <img> definitely should be supported, the lack of =
scripting mitigates most security worries.

=20

In other news, FF48 shipped Web Animations which is great news for folks =
wanting things to animate on a parallel thread to avoid jank on the main =
thread, so perhaps you should start exploring that API (admittedly JS, =
but I'd hope we can someday find a declarative syntax that folks would =
be happy implementing).

Delighted to hear this, Phil and Alex!

=20

I thought that others here might be interested to know.

Now, if as Amelia points out[1], folks can work on convincing places =
like FB, Google Plus, Twitter and Wikipedia that SVG in <img> adds value =
to their platforms =E2=80=93 and is safe--, the web will become a richer =
place.  Am I correct in concluding from what I read at the links you =
provided, Amelia, that SVG in <img> is, as much as anything on the web, =
safe right now?
