A clear statement in the spec one way or the other would definitely help 
me understand the intended implementors. If Web browsers aren't expected 
to support SVG 1.2, then many of my concerns would be alleviated. However, 
my understanding is that the working group _does_ intend SVG to be a 
vector graphics standard for (amongst other things maybe) Web browsers.
