Anyway, I am using SVG paths to represent the suits, not XHTML (which wouldn't be a good idea in this case).

You could squeeze out maybe a few dozen if not a hundred or two bytes by using HTML entities (I would imagine) though I'm only giving it a very casual glance... Spades ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠ Clubs ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ Hearts ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Diamonds ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♢, ♡, ♧, ♤ If they end up rendering I'll just email you a link to the source. Microsoft is obviously taking IE9 and it's future implications very seriously. While I can't wait for the beta I would hope if they make the decision to delay it a week here or there just to get things in like XHTML or Canvas as examples considering Dean's claim that the initial preview of IE9 was work done only in a span of three weeks (e.g. IE8 could have had CSS3 selectors with maybe a week's worth of work?) Still the "leaks" are appreciated. I remember seeing your version of Solitaire about a year or two ago which is pretty cool.

I'm one of the tech guys helping out with the site and it's really great to see the variety of entries. It's been pretty amazing to see what people can cram into 10,240 bytes. We've had Silverlight, HTML 5, and SVG. We're still hoping to get a few Python or Ruby submissions too. Hopefully I'll get to see you at Mix this March. Thanks for submitting!
