This specification defines the features and syntax for
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Tiny, Version 1.2, a language for describing
two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics in XML.
Its goal is to provide the ability to create a whole range of graphical
content, from static images to animations to interactive Web applications.
SVG Tiny 1.2 is a profile of SVG intended for implementation on a range of
devices, from cellphones and PDAs to desktop and laptop computers.
Status of this document
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its
publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current
W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be
found in the W3C technical reports index
at http://www.w3.org/TR/.
This is a the 15 September 2008 Last Call Working Draft of SVG Tiny 1.2.
The SVG Working Group
plans to submit this specification for consideration as a
W3C Proposed Recommendation once the Working Group has demonstrated at
least two interoperable implementations for each test in the SVG Tiny 1.2
test suite; furthermore, at least one of the passing implementations must
be on a mobile platform. The SVG Working Group, working closely with the
developer community, expects to show these implementations by October
2008. This estimate is based on the Working Group's
preliminary implementation report.
The Working Group expects to revise this report
over the course of the Last Call period. The Working Group does not
plan to request to advance to Proposed Recommendation prior to 17 October
2008. The previous Last Call Working Draft and
Candidate Recommendation phases for this specification resulted in a number
of comments which have been in large part addressed by the
SVG Working Group, and new comments
or unaddressed issues are invited. Please send comments, with the phrase "[1.2T-LC]"
in the subject line to www-svg@w3.org, the
public email list for issues related to SVG. This list is

acceptance of this archiving policy is requested automatically upon first post.
To subscribe to this list send an email to

properly, we ask that only one issue is addressed per email, except in the case
of typos and other non-substantive corrections. Comments will be accepted until
13 October 2008.
A partial list of changes made since the last public Working Draft is available in
Appendix T.

Acknowledgments
The SVG Working Group would like to acknowledge the
many people outside of the SVG Working Group who help with the
process of developing the SVG specification. These people
are too numerous to list individually, but are greatly appreciated.
They include but are not limited to the early implementers of the SVG
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 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,
and from public feedback.
