The single biggest hurdle to this idea is that the very technology required to make it happen (the ability to use the network interfaces in 1.2) will also make it unsafe to use. Just imagine a cross-platform capable MS Outlook. Throw in the ability to make RPC and you have a very nice delivery mechanism for virus/trojans/worms... and they won't target just MS platforms, but anything using the svg functionality. There must be very strict control over what is allowed via this type of interface or it will single handedly kill svg...
