		<title>Quote Them on it</title>

        <para>"Over twenty organizations, including Sun Microsystems, Adobe, Apple, IBM, and Kodak, have been involved in defining SVG."<emphasis role="note"> -- Vincent J. Hardy, Sun</emphasis></para>

        <para>"I have been working with computer graphics for
over 25 years and split an immense amount of blood on the floor at
midnight. With SVG I can now do almost anything I want [except for 3D - in
which I also have a molecular interest]. And I suspect that I can stick
with it for the foreseeable future." <emphasis role="note">-- Peter Murray-Rust, XML-DEV Founder</emphasis></para>
        <para>"I envision a day where we have XHTML Web pages with SVG as the "chrome" of our interfaces--defining the buttons, the layers, the coloring, and the grid--where we can actually use a language that's XML-based rather than theses separate GIF files that can take so long to download. That's certainly one vision; that vision not just extending on the Web, on a monitor, but wireless onto my Palm Pilot or to print and other output as well." <emphasis role="note">-- Steve Mulder, Razorfish</emphasis></para>
