Dimitrios, SVG 1.2, which is currently being prepared by the w3c, allows for direct socket connections. However, the issue of security and whether or not to allow socket connections to a different server than the one which served the oriignal svg content has not been worked out yet.
Good luck with your implementation. I look forward to seeing it develop.
