Hi,

I've been imagining building a small application for some time now which might leverage dojo in a way that hasn't been done before. The idea is basically to create an application that is able to parse SVG markup, and transform it into calls to the dojox.gfx API. Among other uses, I imagine that this would allow an author of SVG content to inline that content in HTML, and have it transparently be rendered across all platforms that gfx supports. Of course, the rendering won't be perfect, because gfx doesn't support all of SVG, but it might be extremely useful for rendering, for example, UML models, and other diagrammatic media. I think that dojo could potentially be used quite well for this, as it already provides a parser and a rendering backend; the work will be in writing the glue code that links them together for the purpose of parsing SVG content.

This seems like such an obvious use of dojox.gfx that my primary question is, has this idea already been implemented before? I'd especially like to hear whether the dojox.gfx team thinks it's worth pursuing.

Thanks,

Jake
