There seems to be a great solution for simple vector graphics that can
be seen in any browser without a plugin: It's the JavaScript library
dojo (http://www.dojotoolkit.org/) which has the ability to render
vector graphics in either SVG (Firefox, Opera, Webkit) or VML
(InternetExplorer). 

You might want to look at a draft of the syntax they use, it is very
similar to SVG:
http://docs.google.com/View?docid=d764479_1hnb2tn
and check out some demos:

In an attempt to try this out we built an interactive population
pyramid which you can see here:

Sorry, this in in german only but you'll get the idea.

Performance in IE is poor but it works without any plugin and even
prints as vectors (IE and Webkit only).

While this may be a bad idea for the SVG purist, there are chances for
real world apps. What do you think?
