    <p>This specification defines the features and syntax for
    Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Version 1.1, a modularized
    language for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed
    vector/raster graphics in XML.</p>

    <h2 id="status">Status of this document</h2>
    <p><i>This section describes the status of this document at the
    time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this

    maintained at the W3C.</i></p>
    <p>This document is the 14 January 2003 
    Recommendation of the SVG 1.1 specification. SVG 1.1 serves two
    purposes: to provide a modularization of SVG based on SVG 1.0
    and to include the errata found so far in SVG 1.0. The SVG
    Working Group believes SVG 1.1 has been widely reviewed by the
    community, developers and other W3C groups. The <a
    href="changes.html">list of changes</a> made in this version of
    the document is available.</p>
    <p>On 30 April 2009 this document was edited in place to fix a
    number of dead links.  The W3C Team has kept a copy of the
    original document.</p>
    <p>Public comments on this Recommendation are welcome. 
    Please send them to <a
    href="mailto:www-svg@w3.org">www-svg@w3.org</a>: the public
    email list for issues related to vector graphics on the Web.

    <p>The W3C SVG Working Group have released a <a
    href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/">test suite</a> for
    SVG 1.1 along with an 
      <a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20021115/matrix.html">
      implementation report</a>.</p>

    <p>The SVG Working Group would like to acknowledge the great
    many people outside of the SVG Working Group who help with the
    process of developing the SVG 1.1 specification. These people
    are too numerous to list individually. They include but are not
    limited to the early implementers of the SVG 1.0 and 1.1
    languages (including viewers, authoring tools, and server-side
    transcoders), developers of SVG content, people who have
    contributed on the www-svg@w3.org and
    svg-developers@yahoogroups.com email lists, other Working
    Groups at the W3C, and the W3C Team. SVG 1.1 is truly a
    cooperative effort between the SVG Working Group, the rest of
    the W3C, and the public and benefits greatly from the
    pioneering work of early implementers and content developers,
    feedback from the public, and help from the W3C team.</p>
