It took a bit more messing around, but I finally got all of the missing
pieces together.

1. My ssh key appears to have been properly installed on the CVS server
2. The "CVS in W3C" document lists two different CVSROOT values.
   The correct one appears to be CVSROOT={username}@cvs.w3.org:/w3ccvs
3. The CVS directory of interest combines information from the "CVS in
   W3C" document with Doug's comment above.

   cvs checkout WWW/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/

This combination finally allowed me to check out the State of the Art
document.
