SVG graphics seem to work. But in Camino, when I go to the test page

a file, launches Illustrator and spits a bunch of error messages at
me.
I make a few more tests... it functions just fine in safari and IE,
but not in Camino or Firefox. This is unfortunate as the foundation
technology seems very interesting.
Anyone have any ideas what's ging on here?
Adobe's site is very broken: they're serving the SVG file as
text/plain instead of image/svg+xml, for starters, and in an embed
tag without a proper type element. Both are no-nos and both will
cause proper implementations of SVG to "fail".
See <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/faq.html#source> and
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/faq.html#choose-a-program> for
more info.
From what I've heard/read, Adobe's test suite is not to be
trusted...it's more of a test suite for "did you install our plugin?"
rather than "adherence to web and SVG standards and specs". Try
those at Hixie's site and the ones he links to
<http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/svg/> for more accurate results ;)
And use Camino 1.0 or higher, of course...versions before 1.0 did not
support SVG.
