Hi, Holger-

I mean no offense, but this is not a very helpful suggestion. I've just
started working on the MozSVG project myself (baby steps), and the team is
making tremendous strides. I'm very excited about the possibilities.

But MozSVG is not there yet.

The feature set isn't there for many uses, and the distribution is not there
at all. This latter point is the killer. Almost 90% of people use IE;
perhaps half of those who don't use some incarnation of Mozilla; of those
who use Mozilla, most of them use Firefox, which doesn't even have the same
SVG engine as Mozilla, since it's off the trunk; of those who use the main
trunk of Mozilla, practically none use the SVG-enabled build (only a few of
us techies). Pragmatically speaking, I doubt that the original poster's
audience has any chance of viewing his content if he aims for a browser that
has less than 1% of the market.

Scalablev:

That being said, I don't think that IE+ASV's inline SVG is a very good
option either. As I note on my page, there are a host of problems and
caveats associated with using it (and now it seems that it's a good way to
crash the browser). I just checked on it, and now some of the stuff that
worked pre-SP2 now succumbs to errors. Who knows how long any of it will
work, since it's not well supported by either Adobe or Microsoft? If you
insist on using inline SVG,  you should try to write something that has a
fallback, perhaps that will work in both IE and MozSVG (for such time as
Mozilla takes over the browser world).

You may want to rethink the architecture of your document/app. Can you do it
in pure SVG? If you'll give us some details about what you need those 20+
small SVGs, maybe we can suggest alternatives.
