There are other ways to create dropshadows that aren't such a performance hit, and that work on multiple browsers. That being said, I think filters would be great if they were implemented in such a way that dynamic SVG can really make use of them. | I just want my app to run properly | on as many browsers as possible, Same here, which is why I engineer my code to be as cross-platform as possible.

I think you mean that the only UA that you tailor your app to is ASV, since IE doesn't currently have native SVG, unlike all the other major browsers. I'm not knocking either IE or ASV... I think ASV is a great UA, and I wish that it would move forward. | And slow scripting isn't acceptable either since my app is completely | scripted. So are the apps I'm creating.

SVG just works. My scripting and SMIL behave as I'd expect, for the most part. Obviously, it's not yet as complete as ASV, but download Opera 9 and play around. If you have questions, send them to the list, and I'll be happy to help. I have noticed a few differences in the scripting engines, but nothing too terrible. They don't have a "prototype" propery on the Window object, for example, but there are other ways to do what I need to do.
