No, SVG Full 1.2 is no longer under development.  The implementation 
climate has changed, and some of the features defined for SVG 1.2 (both 
Full and Tiny) are not as relevant now as they were at that time.

The SVG WG is taking the best features from SVG 1.2, and new 
implementation experience and use cases, and developing SVG 2.0 with the 
active participation of browser vendors and collaboration with the CSS, 
WebApps, XSL-FO, and HTML WGs (among others, such as the 
Internationalization and Accessibility activities).

We are developing SVG 2.0 as a series of modules that can be used to 
incrementally expand earlier SVG specifications, or implemented as a 
comprehensive specification.

You can read more about it here:
  http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Roadmap

(I just noticed that the timelines there are horribly out of date... we 
will discuss that and correct it after our next telcon.)
