Very interesting...

Perhaps equally interesting to this is the fact that any Java 2D API code 
can produce SVG at the "press of a button":

So, yes, you don't have to dirty your hands with SVG itself, if you don't 
want to or can't for some extraneous reason.

And, just to reiterate, SVG is the *only* vector graphics functionality out 
there for the web that is non-proprietary.  "Flash" is vector driven, but 
it is proprietary.
