This document is the 15 November 2002 Proposed
Recommendation of the SVG 1.1 specification. SVG 1.1 serves two
purposes: to provide a modularization of SVG based on SVG 1.0
and to include the errata found so far in SVG 1.0. The SVG
Working Group believes SVG 1.1 has been widely reviewed by the
community, developers and other W3C groups. The list of changes made in this version of
the document is available.
W3C Advisory Committee representatives are invited to send
formal review comments to the W3C Team until 20 December 2002
at w3t-svg@w3.org. After
the review the Director will announce the document's
disposition. This announcement should not be expected sooner
than 21 days after the end of the review.
Public comments are also welcome. Please send them to www-svg@w3.org: the public
email list for issues related to vector graphics on the Web.

The W3C SVG Working Group have released a test suite for
SVG 1.1 along with an
implementation report.

Acknowledgments
The SVG Working Group would like to acknowledge the great
many people outside of the SVG Working Group who help with the
process of developing the SVG 1.1 specification. These people
are too numerous to list individually. They include but are not
limited to the early implementers of the SVG 1.0 and 1.1
languages (including viewers, authoring tools, and server-side
transcoders), developers of SVG content, people who have
contributed on the www-svg@w3.org and
svg-developers@yahoogroups.com email lists, other Working
Groups at the W3C, and the W3C Team. SVG 1.1 is truly a
cooperative effort between the SVG Working Group, the rest of
the W3C, and the public and benefits greatly from the
pioneering work of early implementers and content developers,
feedback from the public, and help from the W3C team.
