[OSGeo-Standards] SVG Map Toolkit 0.7.0 released

[Satoru Takagi]

Hi Carl,

I knew that mpeg of the ISO needed a royalty.

And, the following sentences are generally mentioned in specifications 
of the ISO. Because I do not know a lot about such a thing, please teach 
how I should interpret this meaning.

 >Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of 
this document may be the subject of patent. rights. ISO shall not be 
held responsible...
