Well, implementing the SVG DOM completely means to be able to answer some
difficult questions such as the current animated value, color or whatever
according to a timeline...
In this case, we *have* to support animation and so implement a SMIL engine.
It also means to support dynamic update of the graphics, everything in a
thread safe manner... updating a stylesheet should propagate the correct
values and so...
We will start working on that soon but it's going to take some time :)
At least, several weeks to put some pieces of code in place and months (3-4)
to have a reasonable, partial implementation.
We really hope to have a first (may be full) implementation at the end of
autumn, beginning of the winter.
BTW: Dynamic means SMIL + scripting.
Does that helps?

Thierry.
