    Just a short note that I have experimented with svg embedded inline in xhtml. Taking the code
    from webkit+svg, I did a prototype bundling khtml2 and ksvg2 on top of kdom, and making sure
    the svg elements use render objects this time. I also used just one backend, which uses the qt4 painter.
    Even though I did not get to implement all features (markers, text), it clearly shows that
    inlining of svg in xhtml is very possible!
    Here are examples of rendering of xhtml+svg docs:

    Nice!

    Very nice results. Can i download the code somewhere? I'll take a look at it to get any idea's on rendering xhtml + xforms.

    Re: Nice!

    Thanks :)
    The code is not really special. I just combined khtml2
    and ksvg2 from kdenonbeta and took the ideas from Apple's
    webkit (http://webkit.opendarwin.org/).
    Particularly the webkit codebase should give enough pointers
    how the dom building and rendering with compound documents
    should work. Feel free to join us in irc at #ksvg and/or #webkit
    to get more detailed answers :-)
    Cheers,

    Rob.
