More like a step-child. SVG has MUCH more in common with
PGML (the Adobe vector recommendation) than VML (Microsoft's rec),
but SVG does include a number of features of VML not present in PGML,
but the syntax of SVG is MUCH closer to PGML.

Drop it and to go SVG!
VML is ONLY supported by Microsoft IE for Windows, while SVG
is an open standard and viewers are available for many platforms and
browsers.
