Considering the standard has been in development (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svg) since 1999 (10 years ??) this is a sad state... the future of app development?
The article thankfully mentions IE exactly once. Microsoft does not officially support SVG, you need a plugin.
Even Chrome does not support the SVG 1.1 standard fully, as per the wikipedia article.
Browsers need a standard, natively supported graphics library sigh...
The raphael library he writes about looks interesting, it uses vml for internet explorer and svg elsewhere.
I had never heard about vml. According to wikipedia it is used by google maps as a replacement for svg in ie. That surprised me too: svg is actually being used by a very useful site.
