Although, apparently, they don't have to be HTML implementations

Its also still in SVG 1.0 and in that form is implemented by Batik,
Adobe, Corel and the mobile subsets of it are implemented by Bitflash,
CSIRO, Intesis, KDDI, Zoomon and perhaps others (we are in the middle of
retesting based on a larger test suite).

Although whether that is a snapshot of current usage in HTML browsers
or more generally remains unclear.
