For most purposes, everyone should be looking at one of the non-SVGWeb forks [1]. > We don’t believe that classid="image/svg+xml" is valid syntax, nor do we > think this is being vendor agnostic. I'm not so sure that it's invalid syntax [2], though it is certainly a hack. To be fair, this is targeted at versions of IE that don't have SVG support, so I don't think it's unreasonable. However, since SVGWeb also works with Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (in order to provide a consistent experience cross-browser), I see no reason we should specifically single out IE. Maybe whoever put the harness together could speak to that?
