Yes, you're right it's just speculation, but it's pretty interesting... Here's a post I found from about a year back
http://blog.codedread.com/archives/2006/06/02/ie72-to-support-svg/ Here it says "Microsoft publicly stated IE will have core engine support for SVG in IE7.x (most likely 7.2)". This was dated June 2, 2006. No particular MS employee was cited in this blog entry but it certainly sounds that way. Those who are interested should read further into the blog. There may be some speculation going on here too. Next I see a question asked in the Microsoft forums, dated December 14 2006, which is after the previous post. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1019248&SiteID=1 Here we see a Senior Program Manager state in a response to a question about native SVG support in IE: "It's currently too early to announce exact plans at this stage. We are certainly looking into this area though." So the only thing I can conclude is that the latter statements are less conclusive than the prior ones; in fact somewhat contradicting the earlier announcement of firm support. My conclusion at this point is that there is some serious waffling going on and I suspect it's because of two things a) Adobe dropping support for ASV (announced Sept 9, 2006 - subsequent to first post cited above), and b) Emergence of Silverlight (WPF/E). But you're absolutely right, it's speculation.
