More directly, I think that with browsers support for SVG finally becoming usable, we're entering a period where browsers will become, by far, the most common consumers of SVG, just as browsers are the most common consumers of HTML and every format that HTML typically references. As such, we should make decisions based on the capabilities of the web platform as a whole, rather than considering SVG as an island. Viewers will grow or die out. ~TJ
