What is SVGs relationship to other W3C standards?
The W3C was founded as an international industry consortium that would lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing common protocols that promote evolution and ensure interoperability. As such, the W3C is in the position of developing SVG as the vector graphics standard that will conform to and make use of other W3C defined standards. Some important examples of this conformance are: SVG is an application of XML. SVG’s DOM is compatible to the W3C DOM standard. SVG supports CSS.
