Assuming that (1) "*still* separat[ing] content from presentation" and (2)
"edit once, present everywhere" are the goals, and assuming further that
what you mean above is that "content" = "(perhaps any) XML" and
"presentation" = "SVG", then what is the difference between:

XML (content) + SVG (presentation)

and

XML (content) + CSS (presentation)

and while we're at it . . .

XML (content) + XSL (presentation)

?

I would be interested in your opinions on this.

Thanks,

Todd
