I have to wonder if the author is not understanding the hidden complexity of rendering graphics. They make the claim that svg would take over a month to implement which sounds accurate, but then they claim that it could be replaced with a new format which could be implemented in a few days. Surely SVG does not include months of work which is entirely useless. What features are we giving up for this simplicity?
