[M4IF Technotes] SVG and MPEG-4

[AVARO Olivier FTRD/DIH/REN]

Dear Buzz,
MPEG-4 does not support W3C SVG but there is indeed in the MPEG-4
standard a Scalable Vector Graphics format . The MPEG-4 BIFS (binary
format for scene representation) specification provides a format for
representation of scalable vector graphics (2D and 3D) with animation,
interaction, streaming, compression, synchronization with audio and
video, and much more ... I think this company meant that the MPEG-4
spec. provides all you need in terms of SVG. Which is right.
Kind regards,
Olivier

I am learning about SVG (scalable vector graphics) and came across the
website of a company that is developing SVG related tools: 
http://www.vectavision.com/Technology.html 
The site claims: "MPEG 4: The SVG layer in MPEG4 allows all the benefits
of SVG to exist within this motion picture format." 
I know very little about MPEG-4 and I'm trying to understand what this
means.  Browsing through specs and googling hasn't enlightened me much. 
I have emailed the company but have not received a timely response. 
Is there an "SVG Layer" in MPEG-4? 
Perhaps the company simply phrased this poorly.  Any suggestions on what
the company might really be trying to say? 
Thanks for any help.
