The Xara plugin had, what is it, 3 years to catch on, probably even longer than that. It wasn't widely used 3 years ago, it isn't now, and it won't be 3 years from now. The introduction of SVG (if and when it does come) will only serve to kill the plugin. The commercial disadvantage is that it costs money and time to do something like this, it won't come overnight.

If Xara does decide to do an ActiveX module that can be embedded into other apps, hey, I'm all for it. I'm just saying is it doesn't seem like this is their highest priority.
