Thanks for the links Jim. My interest was more on the application front, rather than a once-only transform. Since SVG is a fine rendering language, there is no reason why it couldn't be the UI layer for applications, including web browsers. So whilst the links you provided give a viewable rendition of a page, the links don't work, for example. An HTML browser using an SVG UI would obviously have clickable links.
