A few days ago, tor posted this announcement/plea to the community. It's a grim reality that Firefox's SVG implementation is not where it should be (some big pieces missing). Though I'll be happy with the improvements in SVG support coming in Firefox 3 (some cool filter effects like Gaussian Blur), I was really hoping to see at least Declarative Animation make it into Firefox 3, even working pieces of it.

Early in 2005 I started getting interested in SVG, a web standard for vector graphics on web pages. My efforts in this direction were first sparked by a friend and later by the fact that modern browsers like Firefox and Opera have introduced SVG support. This entry is to serve as a guide so people can learn from my experiences. It was originally published in Dec 2005, but I will continue to update it as more items occur to me. It was last updated in Jan 2007.
I like Konqueror 3.5.5, I think it's come a long way, but I've been getting crashes every so often when playing some more complicated SVG samples, so I really want to have Firefox or Opera as my default browser for those times when I'm using Akregator and click on a link in a feed.

Chris Lilley just announced that the SVG specification now has an updated Test Suite.
I'll probably spend some time going through the test suite in cool web browsers like Opera, Firefox and even Konqueror (now that I have a box running OpenSUSE) to see how compliant each browser is. It will be interesting to see what has changed between Firefox 2 and the Firefox 3 nightly builds.
