Comment on TinyVG – an alternative binary encoded vector graphics formatparent

Comments

We are starting to miss the point of TinyVG with this discussion. The point is a simplified standard, so we don't end up with feature incomplete implementations. I mean just look at all the stuff Adobe Illustrator can, but Browsers can't. Final size a nice-to-have that comes with a minimalistic approach to the standard.

All of this of course at the risk of https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/standards.png

What's the point if it's an output format and the authoring uses SVG? Then the lossy bit won't be the rendering but the SVG to TVG conversion.
