That is pen data. Handwriting analysts use that data as well. The coordinates aren't different; they are providing data about the individual style or technique of the strokes. I can envision applications for that in the public safety industry where proof of identity is a substantial issue and loosely coupled systems have to exchange records while managing a single process. Think prisoner processing such as booking and release, evidence handling, citations and writs, and so forth. The NEC declaration could stop it dead in its tracks. As the IP situation has grown evermore explosive, it is degrading the ability of the middle tier vendors to adopt open technologies. In other words, better to buy and license than adopt and wait. len From: Simon St.Laurent [mailto:simonstl@s...] clbullar@i... (Bullard, Claude L (Len)) writes: >I agree.

On the issue of coordinates, I think InkML may at least have a case that its coordinates are different from others. Take a look at the table in: http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-InkML-20030806/#traceFormat They're including tilt, yaw, pitch, pressure. Lots of stuff beyond coordinates, though maybe this is really describing vectors, not something necessarily specific to pens.
