RE: [webkit-dev] Greetings from the Series 60 mobile browser team at Nokia
I agree, adding SVG support is of interest. SVG is of interest to mobile devices. SVG can be of help to improve the device independence of Web content and give a richer experience to users who are browsing these pages. You might have noticed already that Nokia Series 60 is taking some first steps for SVG support http://svg.org/story/2004/10/21/113212/25. Nokia Research Center also participates in the SVG and the CDF working groups of the W3C. ----- I have two questions about the SVG project: on webkit.opendarwin.org: - How do people see the level of SVG support in KSVG2 ? In the mobile context SVG-Tiny 1.1 is the relevant SVG profile. - How feasible do people see switching the DOM inside WebCore? - How to ensure that adding support for new markups, such as SVG, MathML, etc., will not bloat WebCore's architecture?

I'm heading marketing and strategy at Nokia for Series 60's new mobile browser that will be built upon WebCore/KHTML and JavaScriptCore/KJS. I am writing you this email to thank you for having built the Konqueror and Safari browser with the two components WebCore/KHTML and JavaScriptCore/KJS.
This is great news! As a developer for both OSX and S60 platforms, I look forward to the result. I am curious on one point (at least) however: the new WebKit website mentions SVG as one of the projects to integrate based on KSVG2, and compound documents are a really hot topic for us content and service developers these days. So if the KSVG2 merge into KHTML happens, would you be interested in including that on S60 platforms as well? I would assume you might wish to subset it in which case I wonder what your plans may be in that regard or anything you might be looking for. I'd certainly love to see that happen, and would help if possible. Thanks for any information, -- Robin Berjon Senior Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/

Indeed. We have developed some applications on top of an SVG Tiny viewer here and the results have been very positive. We would certainly be thrilled to be able to do the same on the WebKit platform.
Nokia Research Center also participates in the SVG and the CDF working groups of the W3C.
There seems to be a bunch of SVG and/or CDF WG members on this list.
I have two questions about the SVG project: on webkit.opendarwin.org:
- How do people see the level of SVG support in KSVG2 ? In the mobile context SVG-Tiny 1.1 is the relevant SVG profile.
I beg to differ, for development starting now the relevant profile is SVG Tiny 1.2. It is also probably the best profile to use when targeting a CDF-style integration with XHTML as it has better-defined cross-namespace interactions.
- How feasible do people see switching the DOM inside WebCore?
And has anyone written up ideas about how it ought to best be done? I know the KSVG people have been thinking about this for quite a while. -- Robin Berjon Senior Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/

We think it's feasible, and a few thoughts are up on this web page <http://webkit.opendarwin.org/projects/svg/index.html>. -- Darin
