Dear all,
The conference is going well.
Glad to hear that.
I am reporting back that there is heightened interest in connector points. I have been approached a couple of time to talk about them.
We have a <point...> element defined in svg2 so far, what is the current implementation status and/or what is the current estimated workload for an implementation?
There is not point element in SVG 2; it has been talked about but never added. There is a "DOMpoint" defined for use in scripting.
Any other information about connectors from events in the last year would be additionally useful.
I put together a proposal that we have briefly discussed in the SVG 2 working group. There is clearly interest (especially for the semantic value in accessibility) and its been pointed out that it might even be useful in HTML. The problem is there is nobody with time to work on it now (and its unlikely to be a high priority by the browser people). My proposal is at:

Thanks for your help.
