Comment 1

[Vidar Haarr (not reading bugmail)]

The DrawML spec is only a 'note', it is neither a recommendation nor a working
draft.
Mozilla need not support it in order to be a standards-compliant browser.

My vote is for INVALID, since this is obviosly not a bug. But it is an RFE, and
therefore I won't close it.

Took the liberty of clarifying the summary a bit. I hope that it's OK.

W3C efforts in this area are now focused on SVG. The originators of the note
(Excosoft AB) no longer appear to be maintaining the standard, and I don't see
that an implementation would be useful unless one actually intended to author
DrawML in Mozilla; the last activity from Excosoft on DrawML (in '99) seems to
suggest converting DrawML to SVG for document exchange purposes.

In light on this, resolving the RFE as WONTFIX; I can't see anyone approving
this for the Mozilla trunk, especially since DrawML doesn't appear to be widely
deployed anywhere.
