...In another major commitment to supporting key industry standards, =
Macromedia also announced this week that Macromedia Flex, a presentation =
server and application framework, incorporates key standards from the =
W3C, including Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), Cascading Style Sheets =
(CSS), Extensible Markup Language (XML), and Simple Object Access =
Protocol (SOAP) Web services.=20



Flex offers a standards-based framework for creating enterprise-class =
rich Internet applications. Flex is the latest example of a Macromedia =
product built on the strength of industry standards. Flex will operate =
on Sun Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) servers in its initial release =
and on Microsoft .NET servers in a future release. The Flex application =
framework leverages XML and SOAP Web services for data interchange, CSS =
for style control, and SVG for static graphic primitives and shapes. The =
declarative programming language for defining rich application front =
ends is based entirely on XML syntax. ...

This doesn't constitute a "conversion experience" for Macromedia but it =
definitely does lend credibility to the SVG standard.
