But I'd make 97% of my audience happy... :-) I, personally, would tend to favour an approach that says to everyone who has one of the most common likely options, "yes, you have the plugin, or firefox so here's the SVG" then provide everyone else with a page that says "I don't *think* you can see SVG, but if you think you can, click here to access it, or click here to install it"
That said, I would like to detect ASV/IE/Mac and ASV/Safari, if possible. Anyone know how I can do that? ie, non-ActiveX-based plugin detection? query the navigator.plugins array?
