Since the "information" you are quoting is coming from my blog, I feel it my duty to respond.
Adobe, EOL, ASV: http://blog.codedread.com/archives/2006/12/18/adobe-allows-svg-viewer-download-indefinitely/ explains that Adobe no longer plans to remove the download. It DOES NOT say that they are not end-of-lifing ASV. As others have explained, a company can EOL something and still make it available for download as "unsupported" software. IE 7.2 and SVG: http://blog.codedread.com/archives/2006/06/02/ie72-to-support-svg/ has a question mark in the title and links to another blog which makes this statement. It's really unfortunate that the "post slug" doesn't pick up this crucial ASCII character! :) In my own post I state that I've never heard of an "IE 7.2". In fact, I have subsequently learned from Chris Wilson (from the IE team) that he himself has not heard this statement, nor of a "7.2" version of IE. I think they are calling the next version "IENext" until it's more formally announced. If you read through Chris' Powerpoint slides you will see the statements that Microsoft recognizes SVG as one of the web standards (along with HTML, CSS) that make up the "core" in terms of standards support for the web. One can _INFER_ from this that they will eventually have to support SVG in some form in some version of IE. Get our your crystal balls...
