[OSGeo-Standards] SVG Map Toolkit 0.7.0 released

[Satoru Takagi]

Hi lorenzo,

I recognize that this is a mailing list about the standards.
And, it is SVG Map as a standard specification that I want to discuss here.

I wish SVG Map specifications are supported in many Open Source 
Softwares. And there was really the thing that the one was carried out 
in the past.

In addition, software including the essential know-how to output SVG Map 
contents is opened too.

It uses GeoTools, but it will be preferable for it to be included in 
GeoTools oneself.

Regards,

Satoru Takagi
