and yet
> Standards are standards because there are many groups of people with many different, and changing, requirements using them.
So on the one hand they're rejecting whatever, and on the other hand they are catering to all the different and changing requirements.

I do not wish to seem rude but my point is "SVG is a good example of an overflexible, overcomplex standard with too much variety, too many options, too many different ways to do the same thing. The huge flexibility makes it almost impossible to correctly and fully implement."
- dahart 9y agoYou don't seem rude, but you do you seem unwilling say something constructive. Since Amelia isn't sure she wants to continue with SVG standards work, I volunteer you to go and simplify and fix the SVG standard. You've stated your opinion that it's too complex three times, so you must know what parts of it can be cleaned up? Go do it.
- Safety1stClyde 9y agoHow is that constructive, you are just being silly now.
- jononor 9y agoFor something constructive, need a suggestions for a solution, a way forward. Pointing out problems is not the hard thing, solving or preventing the problem is.
