Hi Kevin,
I think your system was down for awhile. It must have generated a
bit of interest :) This seems similar to the dojo approach Jon was
mentioning. I think OpenAjax is interesting, but these are all oriented to
lowest common denominator cross browser apps and appear primitive next to
pure SVG capabilities.
I am not very familiar with dojo but understand how this could be used for
cross browser static display, in the IE case as VML/DIV. Google maps api
uses VML for IE and SVG for FF for their path/pt overlays etc. MapBuilder's
OWS interface takes a similar tack for primitive map interaction. Possibly
they use the Zorn library. The question is how well VML/DIV supports events,
animation, full svg styling etc. I am still skeptical that it could approach
the same kind of rich client capability found in Adobe's ASV. VML seems
primitive by comparison. Google resorted to a rich client download for
Google Earth probably because of the obvious limitations found in
HTML/VML/SVG.
Even the current implementation of SVG rendering in FF is lacking in some of
these areas. Perhaps Opera has advanced further along the SVG1.1
implementation, but as it stands now I have a few applications that depend
on the ASV implementation of SVG as a minimum and are still waiting for FF
to catch up before it becomes a viable web app client. I don't yet see how
the Ajax/javascript approach could fill the vacuum left by ASV's sudden
demise.

Subject: [svg-developers] Browser-based SVG rendering proof-of-concept
Hey folks,
A few months back, I was playing around with a kind of SAX-like SVG
path parser I wrote years ago. The idea was to see if I could render
SVG paths to various targets: div's (yes, that is crazy), flash,
canvas, and VML. Given the recent discussion about ASV's demise (and
from some prodding from Doug Schepers), I thought some folks might be
interested to see a kind of proof of concept.

Hopefully this can help folks see that there are options available to
us until we get a replacement viewer in IE.
