The World Wide Web Consortium did have a "set of requirements" document for

a Scalable Vector Graphics for many years now. If you do a web search

you'll find a later set of SVG requirements from 1998, which was changed

with editorial comments.


I'm not certain whether the original concise SVG requirments are still on

the web, but from memory they did require a text-based format, so you could

edit graphic descriptions in NotePad or SimpleText. For that reason alone

SWF would not have fit this set of needs.
