RE: [emergency] Circle and Polygon
So we tell the ISO/W3DC people that they can't play despite 
the fact that they already have deployed software and content, a 
ten year old standard, and are referenced by pertinent RFPs for C2 
systems?

GML is not a mapping standard! GML is a standard, grounded in a variety of 
ISO 19*** series standards, for 
encoding/expressing/communicating/transporting 
geographic/location/geospatially enabled content. Now, in terms of 3D, I 
would strongly encourage you to check out LandGML 
(http://www.transxml.org/GML+Experiment/Resources/261.aspx and 
(http://www.opengeospatial.org/initiatives/?iid=133) and CityGML 
(http://www.ikg.uni-bonn.de/sig3d/docs/Gi4Dm_2005_Kolbe_Groeger.pdf), both 
application profiles of GML 3.1.

In terms of SVG, there are any number of tools that do GML to SVG for 
rendering. Some are free, some are for fee.
