At the risk of responding to my own post... it occurs to me that Adobe would have an amazing business opportunity if they released their Flash authoring tools with full SVG support - i.e. the ability author SVG content with the same tools that are currently used to author Flash... if they could do *both* Flash and SVG, I think they'd successfully outflank and kill Microsoft's Silverlight, which would be a huge boon for the web, and all of humankind (except those invested in Microsoft, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for them). I, for one, would be most impressed.
