>Dear Reader,
>
>This week XML.com has a special focus on Scalable Vector Graphics,
>with articles from three leading SVG writers.
>
>Fabio Arciniegas, in his article "The Visual Display of Quantitative
>XML", takes a holistic approach to displaying information visually
>with SVG. He covers not only the best SVG and XSLT practices
>involved in creating information graphics, but also gives tips on
>the appropriate use of graphics to display data. Follow Fabio as
>he creates an interactive city nightlife guide at
><http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/02/27/visual/index.html>.
>
>J. David Eisneberg, the author of O'Reilly's "SVG Essentials,"
>demonstrates how the Apache Batik toolkit can be used to generate
>SVG server-side. His article shows how to serve SVG to browsers
>that accept it, while providing a JPEG or PNG fallback. Read more
>at <http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/02/27/batik/index.html>.
>
>Our SVG columnist Antoine Quint completes the trio of SVG articles
>this week. Antoine introduces the Javascript features of SVG by
>showing how to implement interactive drag and drop in an SVG image.
>Get stuck into scripting the SVG DOM at
><http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/02/27/drag.html>.
>
>We also have our regular columns this week: John Simpson is back
>with his Q&A column, covering creating links in XSLT, and doing
>without entities in W3C XML Schemas. XML Q&A is at
><http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/02/27/q-and-a.html>.
>
>Our eagle eye on the XML developer world, Leigh Dodds, has focused on
>questions about web services and security recently aired on the XML
>developers list XML-DEV. The XML-Deviant summarizes the debate at
><http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/02/27/security-lather.html>.
>
>I hope you enjoy this week's bumper crop of articles. As ever you
>can share your comments on the articles in the forums, or email
