For this particular application there are existing free (e.g. gnuplot) and commercial applications. Another factor to consider is that it must be possible to quickly re-render an SVG image when it is changed slightly if you are going to meet the big commercial demand for animation. Personally I would rather have native implementations of static images in market leading browsers than any of these features; that would finally allow SVG to replace GIF for line art diagrams.
