Royalty-based standards on the web?

lilo - Thank you for the pointer . I filed comments there before the deadline. We all need to... this is rather disappointing to see.

Why NOT to use SVG for graphics! - So the SVG standard is barely out the door, and already there is a reason NOT to use it.

Why should we start using a graphics standard if Kodak can later assert a patent and start charging a fee?

Too bad, as the standard looks really interesting and I was planning to use XSLT to process some items into SVG.
