This made today's bbc business headlines so you might forgive them to
not mention SVG but here is another statistics example that works
ASV3, FF, Opera ...
The Office for National Statistics published an interactive
visualisation tool that lets you analyse your personal spending habits
with regard to the Retail Price Index ("inflation"). See more
information at

or point your SVG enabled browser directly to

>From my own experience I know how much work it is to go beyond
building technical prototypes, to convince people to use SVG and to
negotiate every aspect of te GUI and such with probably a lot of
people and to finally publish it. So I find it especially remarkable
how well this thing has turned out and one could interpret the bbc
coverage that ordinary people don't care about the technology at all.
Maybe we can hear some feedback from the people involved as to how
many customers struggled with getting SVG to display. From what I've
seen, Firefox usage is not as high in the UK as in other european
countries.
With regard to the technology the text input fields again show why
foereignObject is so important and why in my opinion one would benefit
even from a partial implementation. I don't want to skew
dropdown-menus and such to show off technology but I think the
browsers own text input fields are a lot more desirable.
