Thanks, Sam for kicking this off - I knew it was just a matter of time before someone would do a proof-of-concept, but the week of MIX07 was earlier than I expected! 🙂

One suggestion: If you're going to use simple IE detection, then why not use IE conditional comments rather than forcing other SVG-capable browsers to load and parse and run the JavaScript? Something like:

<!--[if IE]>

Firefox 3 adds support for some Filter Effects, while Webkit currently has better Text support. For a first release, this will be fantastic - congratulations to the Webkit team!
