And then some.  After reading the spec, it certainly feels
designed-by-committee.  :)  It should be more than enough to allow me
to get some boxes 'n arrows in my documents, which is all I wanted
anyway.
Actually, it's not too bad.

Yes, there is some Java code on the SVG site -- well a wee bit of Java
code implementing a small subset of SVG -- but I don't see any code by
Peter around.  I don't see anything on the Ghostscript site either.
You don't know where I can find it, do you?  Or perhaps it hasn't been
released yet?
