Jon Phillips is not a member of the SVG WG. I am the chair of that WG, so the contact can be through me. The issue is going to be discussed at todays telcon (in 40 minutes time ...) but its possible that we will need more time, and more communication between the two groups, to resolve this successfully. I gather there is a hard deadline of this Friday for comments?

Yes, a very timely alert - thanks!

The implementation database is supposed to be run by an external SVG organization, as of a year ago. However, they do not seem to have done anything yet. This is irritating for implementors (and for myself, as people keep asking me to add stuff and i can't).
I am meeting with those guys in 10 days time and will asked them about progress on this. if they haven't done it by then, i will get the database hosted somewhere else (like svg.org) which is where we syndicate our SVG news from.
The idea (was) that implementors could update their own entries as they released new versions, so it would always be up to date but viewable from a central location.
