Hi Andre,

The Netscape 6 / Mozilla project has a newsgroup for discussing SVG matters. 
So the answer to "if" is Yes, I think.

The newsgroup is called netscape.public.mozilla.svg I monitor it in a casual 
way as to what is happening. I have never seen any kind of firm estimate of 
when. Suffice to say, "Don't hold your breath". :)

I can't help you at the moment with any specific information about SVG 
support in Internet Explorer. Take a look at 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/general/overview.asp That is one of the few web 
pages on Microsoft.com where SVG or Scalable Vector Graphics is even 
mentioned.
