In terms of momentum I think we want to get into a concerted effort to  
get SVG more appreciation in widgets. The mobile industry is going  
nuts over widgets, and pretty much all the relevant terminals have  
SVG, yet people seem to be focusing on HTML-based widgets. I think the  
WebApps group is already aware of SVG (well, I ranted at them about  
it :) but we should push it in other widget-related outfits such as  
OMTP Bondi (who are putting together some nifty APIs). Also, folks who  
have cool SVG content could repackage them as widgets — it's simple,  
fresh, fun, and gives you a chance to figure out kinks with the  
widgets packaging spec that's now in last call.

Opera has a big fat DB of widgets, do any of those use SVG? Can they  
run on mobile? Could you folks reach out to your dev community about  
this?
