Yes, Firefox and Opera both now support it natively, but I don't see it anywhere on the IE roadmap. I appreciate that it is an open standard, and believe me, I would love to see it get the attention it deserves, but it isn't going to get that attention if the most popular browser on the planet doesn't support it natively." I take your point. I'm being nitpicky (and perhaps my vision is clouded by wishful thinking :) but if IE implements SVG in the future, which as it's an open standard is entirely possible, a plugin will not be required. That can never be said for Java and Flash.
