Yes, that's what the code does.

Gradients are harder. VML does have a way to specify more than 2
(start and end) colors, but it is not as full featured as SVG. I have
fairly simple gradient support coded.

I have not heard anything from MS about dropping VML. Some Office
applications do use VML when saving as HTML. However, MS is not adding
any new features to VML. It is a dead end technology. But it is useful
 and built into IE since version 4.

>From what I've seen XAML has much better support for 2D and 3D graphics.
