I want to believe. SVG as an image format.I’ve updated my marketshare spreadsheet for Nov 2010 charting the percentage of web users who can view SVG and Canvas: 44.57%

I'm also tracking what percentage of web users can see SVG in an <img> tag: 18.41%

Still looking for more stats sites - it seems that W3Counter is also not reliable (their public web stats for August were still not generated as of Sep 12th).

The SVG LogoSVGI’ve updated my marketshare spreadsheet for June 2010 charting the percentage of web users who can view SVG and Canvas: 41.49%

Note that I added "Canvas" back into the title of these blog posts, now that it is public that IE9 is supporting the HTML5 <canvas> element. I've also added SVG-as-an-image (usable inside <img> or as a CSS background-image), since that's something that seems likely to be supported soon by all browsers (Firefox 4, IE9).

P.S. This figure does not take into account any user that has a SVG plugin installed or authors who have used the excellent SVG Web or excanvas shims, so this is really a worst-case number.

[clipart]Issue 70 has been open for awhile now. In fact it's one of just a handful of two-digit bugs left in SVG-edit. Now that all browsers have heralded support for SVG into the future, one might argue that the need for this bug will evaporate in a couple years. However, one would be wrong. First, there are lots of mobile browsers out there. Second, in some cases it could be easier to just tell the browser how to draw a collection of dots rather than mathematical instructions (think thumbnails). So how to solve it?
