This depends on the browser. Opera implements animation, but Mozilla  
doesn't.

It also depends on what platforms you want - Opera runs on symbian and win  
mobile (using Ikivo's plugin) as well as windows/mac/linux/bsd/solaris  
(native implementation), Safari basically only runs on Mac, Batik I  
believe is Java and runs all over the place, and there are various other  
systems.

There are still some significant differences in the level of support. You  
can see Opera's level of support at Opera 9.0 (there are a few changes in  
the current release which is 9.01, and some more to come in the next  
release...) at http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/opera9/svg/ - I presume  
there are similar documents for other browsers. (Basically we do 1.1 Basic  
modulo a couple of bugs, and then some more stuff towards 1.1 Full).

I would suggest that in the short term you roll out with a browser, and as  
the overall level of implementation rises in browsers, you can step back  
and let people choose their own.

I guess that I can be accused of marketing here, so I would advise you to  
ask other people for their opinions or test the browsers with your  
content. (If there are a couple of bugs, say so - the various developers  
are watching this list and might be able to give you some fairly instant  
gratification :) )
