Great! :-) I strongly encourage you to publish results of your
research afterward, if possible. ;-)



> It seems that for IE 6 and 7 there is only Adobe SVG Viewer

No, there is a number of alternatives to the ASV (Adobe SVG Viewer)
plug-in. Mostly are also ActiveX-based plug-ins, but there are
substantially different approaches like Java-based applets.

You may take a look at a summary article on viewer implementations [1]
and check the massive viewer matrix [2] for more implementations and
related information.

Maybe, but pressure is steadily increasing [3] and I sincerely expect
that Microsoft reconsiders adding SVG support over both the commercial
interests on it's proprietary technology and the historic divergences
with the SVG community... :-)



Hope this helps,
