Also, five years is not an unreasonable life expectancy for WCAG 2.0. As I understand it, there is no absolute guarantee that the resources will always be available to update the guidelines, so we should write them, at least at the abstract level, under the assumption that they may not be updated for a long time, if at all. Finally, I should mention that no one has proposed making SVG compulsory for checkpoint 3.4 (or any other checkpoint), but it is nevertheless a technology that authors may choose to use and for which we need to provide good techniques.
